A Sherlock Holmes Mystery
This was my first Sherlock Holmes mystery! Captivating and very well-written.
Watson, Sherlock's assistant, relates the events surrounding family lore and horror through direct narrative, letters, and journal entries. The old family curse seems to be afoot when Sir Charles Baskerville dies suddenly after an encounter with "the hound". When his closest relative arrives to the homestead, it seems like someone or something wants to bring him to his death too. Sherlock and Watson sort through the tangle of lies to uncover the culprit. This novel is definitely atmospheric.
*Highly recommend.
Points to discuss- Not knowing some characters are married, other characters pursue a romantic relationship with them. Nothing inappropriate is described. Physical abuse (one character threatens his wife, verbally and physically, when she wants to expose him. Again, no graphic details are given.)
-We own this book.
