221B BAKER STREET LONDON - One of the most famous address in the world!
Many still believe that Sherlock Holmes is not a fictional character!
When the character became more famous than the author - out of jealousy, maybe - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed Holmes in an encounter with Professor Moriarty.
The public went crazy! Millions of requests appealing to bring back Holmes forced Doyle to give life to Holmes!
A history that never repeated - The character started ruling the author!
The Hound of Baskervilles - is one among the four novels featuring Holmes. The rest are short stories.
This novel is about the investigation of the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, his friend Dr. Mortimer believes that he was killed by a super natural creature.
It was informed to them that the Baskerville family is cursed by destiny that the male members of the family will be killed by a monstrous hound. Holmes is given the assignment to investigate into this and to protect the life of Sir Henry who is going to be the next heir of Baskervilles.
The novel take us through the description of the moor from where strange voices emanate - some of the mysterious inhabitants near the moor, a stranger who opted to stay near the moor ….. Altogether it creates an atmosphere of terror and suspense which will ensure absolute attention.
I still remember reading this novel at night alone in my bedroom and felt like being left out near the moor half expecting a hound in front of me!
Many who read the novel have similar experiences! Here lies the craftsmanship of the author – he separates us from the real world and take us along with him.
By the time the mystery is resolved - I am sure, you will go back to the first page and read the novel again!
All the Sherlock Holmes case diaries are still reference guides in Scotland Yard.
After Holmes - I hardly found any detective novel / short story worth reading!
If you have not read it yet …. Now’s the time to do so!!
