Publisher Description

A full-cast audio dramatization of one of Sherlock Holmes' best known stories.

Generations ago, a hound of hell tore out the throat of devilish Hugo Baskerville on the moonlit moor. Poor, accursed Baskerville Hall now has another mysterious death: that of Sir Charles Baskerville. Could the culprit somehow be mixed up with secretive servant Barrymore, history-obsessed Dr. Frankland, butterfly-chasing Stapleton, or Selden, the Notting Hill murderer at large? Someone's been signaling with candles from the mansion's windows. Nor can supernatural forces be ruled out. Can Dr. Watson - left alone by Sherlock Holmes to sleuth in fear for much of the novel - save the next Baskerville, Sir Henry, from the hound's fangs?

"There's a reason why Sherlock Holmes books are classics. Every detective story since owes something to the series, Holmes defined the genre. What's great about this one is that we're not misled at any point, no false trails are laid out for the unsuspecting reader the stumble down and the solution is not fantastic at all. We're like Watson, we know Holmes' methods, we've seen him in action countless times, we ought to be able to solve the mystery. But despite that we still need Sherlock Holmes to swoop in and provide us with a solution. It's a special kind of mystery that gives you every advantage but still remains impossible."

    " This is one of those stories I have heard a lot about, and seen bits of adaptations on TV, but never read the original. I enjoyed it quite a lot - it's definitely my favourite of the longer Sherlock Holmes stories I've read so far. I found a couple of the clues a little bit contrived (a piece of a letter just happens to escape being burned in the fire, leaving a vital clue; a certain person just HAPPENS to bear a striking resemblance to a Baskeville ancestor). But the book is genuinely creepy, and I honestly didn't know how it was going to end. "

    " Read it very quickly before watching the latest episode of Sherlock on PBS and was not disappointed. Conan Doyle is at his best in the longer novels, having more room to flesh out the characters. Makes me want to travel to England so I can see what exactly a moor is! I have already started the next Sherlock book even though I was going to take a break, they are very addictive! "

    " Not that bad of a book. I don't really have much to say about it though. Most of the book was pretty sluggish, then it finally started to pick up again. Three stars, nothing to write home about. Maybe if I wasn't reading it for school, I would like it better. "

    " I'm a big fan of the Sherlock character and I had a great time reading this but I just can't say it was a good book. The hound might stir fright in some, making the reading more exciting, but not me. Honestly, I enjoy modern-day adaptations of Sherlock to the original novels. "

    " This is definitely one of m favorite mystery books rather one of my favorite in any genre. It is indeed a page turner tale, my kudos to sir conan doyle. Filled with mystic, suspense and charm-- thanks to the duo Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Not a dull momment. "

    " I initially struggled with the 'old English' in this book, however after persevering I enjoyed this book. It's the blueprint for several crime/mystery books that are written today. Although after saying this I don't think I would read another one. I'll stick the modern day authors!! "
