The best classic mystery of all times by Conan Doyle. The story revolves around an ancient Curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles, a great concept for setting up a stage for mystery, danger and murder. Sir Henry Baskerville takes possession of the estate of his uncle, who dies mysteriously, believed by all to be killed by the curse of the hound. He seeks the protection of Sherlock Holmes as he too starts receiving threats. This is Conan Doyle at his best.
The plot moves along at a good pace, beautifully woven and the quality of writing is excellent. In most of Conan Doyle's book, you get to see Watson & Sherlock Holmes work together, however in this book Watson is sent by Holmes to the crime scene earlier. You will get to read more of Watson in this book, so one may feel a bit robbed about not getting more of Sherlock Holmes. Still, the author manages to make up by making Watson an entertaining central figure.
This book has all it takes to be a perfect mystery novel, from suspects to victims to villain, all excellent portrayed. It is a solid entertainment for readers who love mystery novels, even those who don't like will love it:)
