Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles Book 4 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle “A hound it was, an enormous coal-black hound…” One of the most famous and chilling cases in the Sherlock Holmes canon, The Hound of the Baskervilles blends classic detective fiction with gothic horror in a gripping mystery set on the bleak Dartmoor moorlands. Terror grips Baskerville Hall when Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his body discovered near the eerie pawprints of a gigantic hound. Local legend speaks of a supernatural beast said to haunt the Baskerville family—a curse passed down through generations. Summoned to uncover the truth, Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson must separate fact from folklore as they investigate the strange death. As Watson navigates the fog-shrouded moors and Holmes works from the shadows, sinister secrets, hidden motives, and human greed begin to surface. Is the hound truly a creature of legend—or something far more dangerous? Atmospheric, suspenseful, and endlessly compelling, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a cornerstone of classic crime fiction and a must-read for fans of mystery, gothic storytelling, and the enduring brilliance of Sherlock Holmes.
