Hound of the Baskervilles
Hound of the Baskervilles | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The curse of the Baskervilles began in the 17th Century, when Sir Hugo swore he would give his soul to possess the beautiful daughter of a yeoman. He captured her, but she escaped. He saddled his horse and chased the girl over the moors until she dropped dead from exhaustion . . . and then a black hell-hound appeared, with eyes like fire, and ripped out Hugo's throat. Now, years later, the Hound has returned. Already it has caused the death of Hugo's descendant, Sir Charles Baskerville. Can Sherlock Holmes stop the curse before it claims Henry Baskerville, the heir of Sir Charles?

Doyle really is the master of the short story and I‘m glad we‘ve switched to reading his short form work for now. This one was such a treat! 🕵🏻‍♂️ #noplacelikeholmes @dabbe @Cuilin

Cuilin Agreed, 👍 4w
dabbe “To Sherlock Holmes, she is always THE woman.“ What a fun one this would be to teach students--the difference and power between just the teeny words “a“ and “the.“ We are in the fun part now! 🤩 4w

1. Sherlock Holmes (I especially enjoyed the tagged book)
2. Walter Hartright (in “The Woman in White“)

That's all I've got because I'm not much into detective fiction.

WildAlaskaBibliophile @dabbe The Moonstone is on my out-of-control TBR list. How did you like it compared to The Woman in White? TWIW is at the top of my favorties-of-all-time. 1mo
dabbe @WildAlaskaBibliophile TBH, I preferred TWIW for its Gothic-ness. MOONSTONE is a lot longer, too, but I still greatly enjoyed it. 1mo

I‘m hooked. I have to read ALL the Sherlock Holmes now! It‘s always so hard for me to review mysteries because I feel like I might inadvertently give away too much. I was a bit saddened that as my first Holmes story it didn‘t have much of him in it. I was also surprised at how often I laughed. I wasn‘t expecting that. This was a great read and I‘ll be keeping an eye out for more to add to my collection. 😍

This was my #BookSpin for January.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. 7/10 rating. Pretty good book, but the ending was quite predictive. Not bad though! Fun to read, though sometimes it was hard to concentrate. Overall, enjoyable but I liked "A Study in Scarlet" best.

Realising that I've been concurrently reading of the two most famous literary moors: Dartmoor in the vicinity of Baskerville Hall and the great Grimpen Mire, and the "wily windy moor" around Wuthering Heights. Neither seems to be a healthy place ?

vivastory This is not related to Doyle, but I just finished Cabinet of Curiosities & I recall that we talked about it months ago. Did you have a chance to watch it? If so, what was your impression? I found it to be a mixed bag with highs & lows, but the highs were def memorable. 13mo

It‘s a classic right? Shows Sherlock in all his hubris, John doing work of similar caliber without everyone telling him what a genius he is.

A very not Sherlock approved setting for finishing up this read, but this cocktail pop is yummy!

I haven't read much Doyle, interesting how this book (#5) mostly follows Watson. There is a bit of misogyny like you would expect for the time but the layered mystery was interesting, I am still more of a Christie reader (her anti-Semitism and racism put me off there though)
This was just fine. Glad it is off the shelf.

I‘m not a fan of neat and tidy endings (with many Sherlock Holmes books, you‘ll get the who, what, where, when, why and how for all aspects of a case, no matter how mysterious its beginnings….it IS a detective story after all); I still like the eeriness of the unexplainable. This book definitely kept up the eeriness for its first 200 pages. What atmosphere! Murder and old folklore all blurred together upon a bleak but beautiful Devonshire moor.

Next on my #12booksof2021 list (April) is the Sherlock Holmes novel: The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Structurally, Holmes' novels will never live up to the well-worn murder mystery formula that we now know and love, but they paved the way for the genre to develop.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a fantastically atmospheric detective novel that takes the reader right out onto the blustery howling moors.

This book is unlike most other stories in the Sherlock Holmes archive because a significant portion of it is endured by Watson alone. Holmes and Watson depart when it is decided that there is too much work to be done in London and Watson is to advance in the investigation of the beast as much as he can in Devonshire. This strips the reader of the security provided by Sherlock's quick wit and rapid logic that leads to speedy resolutions.

Arthur Conan Doyle - The Case-Book of Sherlock , and other novels about the detective (3586 p.). In times of quarantine, I've been missing a good detective with a nice ending, when the good guys get the bad ones. It was totally worth it to open the classic novels about the iconic detective. Four books, and the last novels in the collection amazed me as much as the first ones ♡

1. So I think that I will read more or even re-read some of the short stories when I‘m home (I have a physical book of then at home) .. I enjoyed Sherlock but some of the narrators were difficult to get into.

Just completed the Hound of the Baskervilles, circa 1902, my first Sherlock Holmes 20th century novel, no cars mentioned yet. I have to say this and Conan Doyle‘s A Study in Scarlet were my two favorite reads of his works so far. I thought the memoirs, the adventures, and the return were decent reading but I confess his larger stories are far more developed and interesting. These pieces were mainly written in periodicals for which he was limited.

282Mikado It's been 30 years since I read A.C.D. I may have to go back and read them again. I do believe I like Agatha Christie better though. I read a LOT of her stuff when I was on the Coral Sea back in '79 - '80. Nice thing about a carrier is we had a pretty good sized ship's library. 4y
