Super sleuth Sherlock Holmes is forever a classic. ( )

Two of the best Holmes stories, the first novel which introduces Watson to Holmes, and what is probably the best of the Holmes novels. The version of Mormonism in the explanatory section may be libelous, though the early "saints" were certainly no saints in some respects , I do not believe there is good evidence that they actually kidnapped women to force them into plural marriage.Whether Doyle is to be blamed for believing a charge made in his time is debatable. But the Holmes/Watson part of the story, from Watson's adventures in Afghanistan through to Holmes's capturing the cabman, is wonderful. The Hound is a subtle blend of horror and mystery with very atmospheric descriptions of the moors. ( )

This mystery introduces us to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson while also taking you back to the West in 1886. ( )

I'd give this 4.5*s
Absolutely loved both of these stories but I preferred A Study in Scarlet more than The Hound of the Baskervilles. Looking forward to reading more Sherlock stories :) ( )
