The Hound Of Baskervilles, the story involving horror, mystery, thrill and adventures, is as per me the best one coined by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The story starts by the evil description of Sir Hugo Baskervilles whose evil has caused the Baskerville race to face a curse for the life. A death in the moore adds to the twist as the conditions suggest the murder as a part of the curse.
The book which starts in such a style is surely a marvel to read. With the presence of characters like a ''fly catcher'' and his sister, the story moves at a really fast speed with tonnes and tonnes of mystery in the air.
The situations are also worth mentioning. The presence of a vast moore (which is the basis of the curse), a quicksand in the moore about which only a few knew, the houses of the Neanderthel man in the moore, all make the mystery worth reading.
It looks like Watson has done a lot of work in solving the mystery and it is a pleasure to see him solving some cases like the case of the prisoner on the moore.
Sherlock Holmes is as intelligent as ever and his descriptions are to such an extent that a reader can visualize his looks. As per me, he wears a cotswool overcoat with a maroon tie and a cap.
This book is a real treat for all the Who Dunnit? fans. If you are into this particular kind of genre and you have not read this particular book, you have missed a lot.
