Publisher Description
The terrible spectacle of the beast, the fog of the moor, the discovery of a body, this classic horror story pits detective against dog. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is placed on a family curse. It is left to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to solve the mystery of the legend of the phantom hound before Sir Charles' heir comes to an equally gruesome end.
Customer Reviews
Still fantastic
If you've never read a Sherlock Holmes story before, this is a great choice to begin with. By the end you will realise why SH stories are still so popular and loved by hard core fans and new comers alike. Mystery, suspense, action,humour, romance...it's all there. It's never dull and not overly long. This will have you reading to the very last word to find out who,how and why. And it's free!!! Don't let the fact it was written over 100 years ago put you off.
A literary triumph
First time reading an ACD book and what a treat it was!
Brilliant
The story is phenomenal and dives deep into the mysterious style of writing
