Over the past week, I finished reading The Hound of the
Baskervilles. It is a Sherlock Holmes book so it will always make for a good mystery
story.
The book is about the death of Sir Charles Baskerville and his nephew
who will inherit the house. A man named Dr. Mortimer comes to Holmes to seek
his help to prove if Baskerville's death was actually murder or the act of a supernatural being.
Arthur Conan Doyle uses vast amounts of imagery to bring you into the story. He also structures the book in a way that doesn't give you too many clues but keeps you tangled in the story. With its sudden plot twists and gloomy setting it really adds a level of suspense in the later chapters.
This book is said to be one of Doyle’s best works. I one hundred per cent agree with that statement. I am not one for mystery or Sherlock Holmes books but this one was genuinely a great read. To anyone who loves mystery or Sherlock Holmes this is one book to check out.
