A review by holmesstorybooks
A Study in Scarlet / The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

5.0

I purchased a lovely, and clothbound copy of this book because it is one of my favourite books.

I love this story. I love Sherlock Holmes, I love John Watson. I love the way Conan-Doyle writes atmosphere in this novel. This story, in particular, is somewhere between a detective story, an adventure story and a gothic thriller.

The first time I read this book, I read it almost completely in one sitting. And when I looked up, the sun had set.

Oh. Oops.

I was totally enamoured and enraptured with this story. I think it's one of Conan-Doyle's most beloved because it's a little bit longer than the short stories, so people get sucked in a bit more.

ANYWAY. Totally biased review. Holmes & Watson are my favourite. Everyone can go home. The end.
