The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sherlock Holmes, #5): A Classic (Annotated) Edition of Arthur Conan Doyle Novel (Editor by Maylada Classic)

Always a good idea to pick up a Sherlock Holmes classic and give it a whirl. I want my mind to work like Holmes, or at the very least, the good Dr. Watson. I enjoyed this book because it brought in a piece of the supernatural - giant dogs. I think they exist - maybe they were the model for the shape-shifters in Twilight (yeah, Meyers reads - she may not write with the flourish of Shakespeare, but she is a well-read women, it's all over her series, allusions to literature). The Hound of the Baskervilles follows the curse of one particular family, The Baskervilles. Every man bequeathed the family home finds his way to a gruesome death. Watson and Holmes are on the case trying to figure out what lurks in the night. As always, there are plenty of characters with twists, turns, and trysts that keep the reader guessing until the very end. But, in true Holmes and Watson style, the long narratives that allot for their specific proclivities of decision making take the reader through two brilliant minds. Holmes always gets the credit, but without my dear Watson, the terra firma of the series would sink.

Sherlock Holmes stories are always wonderful and masterfully written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have loved every single one! Hats off to you, Sir Doyle! <3 :)
