welcome to THE HOUND OF THE DECEMBERVILLES,
man, every sherlock holmes title sounds like it was randomly generated by a computer,
anyway, it's another sitelinkPROJECT LONG CLASSICS installment, this is not that long of a classic, but i couldn't think of a better pun i know think of how low of a bar, so i'll be reading a chapter of this per day all month long.
let's get into it!
CHAPTER: MR, SHERLOCK HOLMES
likely title for chapterto be,
kind of fun to just watch watson and holmes gossip for a while, . . attempt their little "deductions" and whatnot, and then also be totally wrong,
CHAPTER: THE CURSE OF THE BASKERVILLES
inching ever closer to that title,
unfortunately i find it very difficult to be scared by the thought of a big dog, which is the best kind of dog there is.
CHAPTER: THE PROBLEM
to be honest i would have pinpointed "guy murdered by magic ghost dog" as the problem.
but i guess that's why i'm not sherlock holmes,
CHAPTER: SIR HENRY BASKERVILLE
i bet this guy is about to seem completely innocent and normal.
he actually does seem okay, but the doctor just revealed a phrenology side interest that i'm not loving,
CHAPTER: THREE BROKEN THREADS
i want to say that holmes and watson have a will they / won't they thing going on, but i'm scared of the fanfiction creators i would align myself with.
BookFromBooks The Hound of the Baskervilles Sherlock Holmes,, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes.
Dr. James Mortimer asks Sherlock Holmes for advice following the death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville, Sir Charles was found dead on the grounds of his Devonshire estate, Baskerville Hall, Mortimer now fears for Sir Charles's nephew and sole heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, who is the new master of Baskerville Hall.
The death was attributed to a heart attack, but Mortimer is suspicious, because Sir Charles died with an expression of horror on his face, and Mortimer noticed "the footprints of a gigantic hound" aboutyards from where Sir Charles lay dead.
The Baskerville family has supposedly been under a curse since the era of the English Civil War when ancestor Hugo Baskerville allegedly offered his soul to the devil for help in abducting a woman and was reportedly killed by a giant spectral hound.
Sir Charles believed in the curse and was apparently fleeing from something in fright when he died,

تاریخ بهنگام رسانی هجری خورشیدی هجری خورشیدی ا. شربیانی The story is about solving a murder mystery when Sir Charles Baskerville was found dead at Baskerville Hall which, by the way, exists still fearing some big hound was behind the murder.
I find the writing really good easy to read and enjoyable, the plot quite unique, the description of the different characters distinct from one another and the ending quite thrilling.
You will come across a few morally gray characters in the story,
The murder mystery isn't that difficult to solve but it's the way how Sherlock and Watson handled the characters and the situation together that gave much needed oomph to the plot.
A Extraordinary
Notes: It establishes setting in gaps between deductions, treating the moor like a living thing: an alien primordial wasteland.
"A devilish affair"
When Henry Baskerville, the last remaining scion of the family, travels from Canada to England to take up residence in Baskerville Hall after the puzzling violent death of his uncle, Sir Charles, he is immediately greeted with a string of baffling mysteries not the least of which is the legend of an enormous hound residing on the moors in Devon.
Dr James Mortimer, family friend to the Baskervilles, engages Holmes and Watson to advise and protect Henry and to resolve the issue of the hound's existence once and for all.
Not one to believe in supernatural phantoms such as this spectral hound from hell endowed with "blazing eyes and dripping jaws", Holmes dispatches Watson to scout out the terrain and place the neighbouring residents under the proverbial magnifying glass Stapleton, the accomplished entomologist and his beautiful sister, Beryl, who attempts to warn off Henry from taking up residence in the hall Frankland, a crotchety busybody with a telescope and his troubled daughter, Laura Lyons, recovering from an illadvised marriage and the Barrymores, long time butler and housekeeper to the Baskerville family, who are clearly carrying a disturbing secret of their own.
True to the wellestablished paradigm of the Holmes canon, Doyle allows Watson to tell the tale with a deliciously full serving of speculation, theorizing based on "incomplete data", emotion, gentlemanly bravado, flowery Victorian atmosphere, elegant dialogue, and extensive detail on the routine of daily living at the turn of the century such as communicating by telegram and traveling by coach.
His development of the bleak, dark, gloomy atmosphere of the moor is masterful:
"Over the green squares of the fields and the low curve of a wood there rose in the distance a grey, melancholy hill, with a strange jagged summit, dim and vague in the distance, like some fantastic landscape in a dream.
"
An easy one evening read over the comfortable space of a couple of hours, The Hound of the Baskervilles moves swiftly from the traditional cozy opening of Holmes' Baker Street digs to a resounding climax that is packed with more excitement and action than almost any other story in the entire Holmes litany.
Two thumbs up and a five star recommendation to readers of all ages!
