Holmes and Watson are faced with their most terrifying case yet. The legend of the devil-beast that haunts the moors around the Baskerville familys home warns the descendants of that ancient clan never to venture out in those dark hours when the power of evil is exalted. Now, the most recent Baskerville, Sir Charles, is dead and the footprints of a giant hound have been found near his body. Will the new heir meet the same fate?

"Reading for a PI book group. An interesting introduction to Sherlock Holmes’s and Dr Watson, with characters and “monsters” on the moors."

Diane Morello

"My favourite Sherlock Holmes story!"

"Sherlock Holmes does not disappoint, and I found the pace satisfactory compared to other mysteries of the time."

"I enjoyed this, especially the description of the moors. I don't know if it because Sherlock is so famous or this is such a standard classic detective novel, but it was pretty easy for me to predict."

"I've been reading Agatha Christie recently. I have varying feelings depending on the Christie book, but I really enjoyed The Murder of Rodger Ackroyd."

Shandi

"I’m a huge Sherlock fan and Doyle was an excellent writer (even if he wasn’t a fan of the character himself). If you like other Sherlock stories, you will like this one. "

Taylor Turner-Ferrante

"Definitely "

Keli Fagerland

"Any of the Sherlock Holmes short stories. There's also a reimagining of the Sherlock character as a woman that I've enjoyed. The author is Sherri Thomas."
