Book Review of :The Hound of the Baskerville

The exciting adventures of Sherlock Homes and Dr Watson give you goose bumps. Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the story is based on a Baronet whose family is said to be haunted by a beastly hound. The father of the Baronet was killed by the hound while he went for a walk outside his mansion. Horrified by his father’s death, the Baronet goes to Sherlock Holmes who, he believes, can solve the mystery.

As the story progresses, the mystery gets more mysterious. Holmes sends Dr Watson with the Baronet for his protection. But, Sherlock Holmes, disguised as a common man, lived in a cave and at last found the hound and killed him with a gun. The hound was a simple dog but fed very well which made him look like a great hound. A chemical was also there which made him glow.

The writing of Doyle, as always, was fantastic and makes you to continue reading. The adventures were breath-taking. I’m sure you will love it.
