The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan DoyleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. The format seemed somewhat different, having Watson as the main protagonist, with his letters to Holmes providing the bulk of the information. It seems that, by using this mechanism, Doyle places us (almost) on equal footing as Holmes in terms of the information we have, so that we are just as able to deduce who the culprit might be as Holmes is.
The description of the moors is intriguing, especially after having read a biography of the Brontës, where they seem so romantic.
