The moors were the perfect setting for this Holmes story. I saw a TV adaptation of this a long time ago, but it was my first time reading the story. I liked the layers of suspense in this one and Watson‘s storytelling. #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

CrystalE02 I believe they would have freaked out. I think that was something that wasn't discussed back then. 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement Interesting question. I read a newly published memoir just a few years ago where the famous author is convinced he used to live in a house with a haunted basement. The whole time I read those passages I kept thinking there had to be some practical reason those noises were being made, etc. Something was wrong with the structure in some way. So I think it still just depends on the person for what we believe and don't. 2mo

IndoorDame I got the impression it was a transitional period between superstition and science. Everyone seemed eager to find an alternative explanation to the supernatural but not because it was impossible. Even Holmes was careful to word things initially so he didn‘t say it was impossible (though I assume he believed it was). These days we‘re more likely to jump to science, scams, mental illness, anything that seems “rational”. 2mo

AnnCrystal With obvious exceptions...It seems rare to find a fictional mystery storyline in the days of Doyle that was truly supernatural. There always seems to be an explanation.

Of course, at the same time I agree with @indoorDame. Doyle\'s time was between a transition from superstitious to scientific. 2mo

I think one of my favorite scenes is when Watson discovers Sherlock!!!

Cuilin @pageshifter @AnneCecilie @indoordame @librarybelle @theAromaOfBooks @Aimeesue @kelli7990 @5feet.of.fury @Read4Life @AnnR @mom2bugnbee @pageturner1 @eeclayton @erzascarletbookgasm @aroyse @dabbe @cuilin @mollyanna @Tineke @Larkken @StayCurious @kimrenee @alldebooks @CogsOfEncouragement @catlass007 @CrystalE02 @curiouserandcurioser @Larkken @BeeCurious @Blackink_WhitePaper @Sace @Daisey @RayHallucinogen @Born.A.Reader @Chrissyreadit @Fr3NcHtOaSt 2mo

CrystalE02 I loved it! We got to here more of Watson and see how he viewed things. 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement Again, I read this 11 years ago. I am unsure if I just remembered SH was actually there or from reading so much of his character recently figured no way would he send Watson on this deadly case alone. Then when Watson sees the tall slender figure out on the moor when the clouds uncover the moon - I thought even Watson should have realized lol. But sometimes Watson just lets us feel good about our clever selves, right? Part of his charm. 2mo

See All 11 Comments

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement Perfectly put.!!! I think that is part of Watson‘s role, to make us feel good. 2mo

Daisey @CogsOfEncouragement I felt the same way rereading this after several years. It seems so clear that it must be Sherlock, but I don‘t actually remember if I realized it the first time. 2mo

eeclayton I realised what was up earlier than Watson but later than the moon/tor scene. Watson made a remark about the stranger possibly being a guardian angel, and that was when I knew it must be Holmes. 2mo

IndoorDame I loved Watson as the main character! It was fun to see him struggle with how much initiative to take and how closely to stick to Sherlock‘s scant (and boring) instructions. 2mo

Cuilin @eeclayton @Daisey I think the reader is always meant to be a little quicker on the uptake than Watson. 2mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame the repeated “should I stay or should I go?” I think he made some great decisions as the client remained alive in the end, which has not always been the case. (edited) 2mo

IndoorDame @Cuilin That did occur to me when Sherlock lamented that he “severely mismanaged” the case by coming so close to losing the client, or by putting him in such danger or however he worded it. Talk about irony given his track record 😂😂😂 2mo

AnnCrystal The scene where Watson reads the note left for Sherlock, Dr. Watson has gone to Coombe Tracey, was my favorite 👏😂.

Reading this has made me realize how Watson views Sherlock as more than just a good friend. It is with far more admiration, like with an older brother or father figure. 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement Yes, the moor that traps and drowns you if you are not careful, compounded with the fog would already be creepy without the recent death and hound rumors. No comparison is immediately coming to mind. 2mo

IndoorDame The grimpen mire 😱😬🫣 Maybe the creepiest location I could dream up! Ms. Christie has an excellent model at least. 2mo

AnnCrystal I believe that any such place and setting as the Baskervilles estates make for a great mood builder for a more mysterious mystery. 2mo

IndoorDame I somehow thought we were chatting about the second half next week, so I still have a couple more chapters. I‘ll chime in a few days when I get to them. 2mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame no worries. It‘s quite possible I got the dates wrong. I‘ll check my notes. (edited) 2mo

See All 20 Comments

CatLass007 @Cuilin @IndoorDame Right. I have the entire schedule for the rest of this year and through 08/09/2025 that was posted a few weeks ago. See you next week! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement This was a reread for me. It's been 11 years, but I was unsure how much I was just remembering vs how much I was genuinely picking up on. I really enjoyed this one. I had the inkling that the Stapletons were not siblings, but indeed married. I liked the confusion caused by the escaped convict on the moor. As in life, there are pieces to other puzzles in the way of the one we are working on. ⬇ 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement I do remember that in my first read I was quite on edge when the fiery hound was in pursuit of Sir Henry. Remembering the trick to it made it a much more mild adventure to read this time. 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin Yep, I have it down for 9/21. I've not finished yet, so can I answer next week? 🥰 2mo

Cuilin @dabbe of course 🤦‍♀️ I‘m away next weekend so subliminally that may have played into my mistake. 2mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement I wondered at them being siblings when Doyle let‘s us know they look nothing alike. 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin No worries. I'll be sure to come back and add my two cents (if I have any!). 🤣 2mo

Daisey This is definitely one of my favorite Sherlock stories, especially of the longer ones. I think it all works together so well! There are things happening throughout, not just an elaborate reveal close to the end like several others. 2mo

eeclayton I'm finally caught up with you all! I enjoyed this one a lot, especially Watson's atmospheric descriptions of the moor. 2mo

Cuilin @eeclayton Yay. The moor sounds spooky yet beautiful too. 2mo

Cuilin @Daisey I loved it!! 2mo

IndoorDame I felt like the penultimate chapter was the climactic scene. It was fun to look back in the last chapter and see which of my predictions were right, and get answers to questions I‘d still been wondering about (especially since it‘d been long enough since I‘d read this that my memory was super spare on details). 👇🏼 2mo

IndoorDame But switching from Watson narrating the action to Holmes‘s exposition months later changed it from feeling like the novel to feeling more like any of the other short stories and wasn‘t as much fun. 2mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame yes, I noticed an energy switch in Retrospection too. 2mo

AnnCrystal The scene with fog rolling in, that seemed to increase the level of concern... 2mo

Cuilin @AnnCrystal yes a misty fog always adds an element of mystery and concern. 🌫️ 2mo

Librarybelle The Barrymores are hiding something, and I think the Stapletons are a bit suspicious. 2mo

IndoorDame I still maintain that the good doctor is totally creeptastic, but I‘m not saying he‘s the killer. Can‘t wait to learn more about the Barrymore‘s so many secrets there!

Cuilin @AllDebooks Dr Mortimer is very new to the area too. Though he brought Sherlock in on the case. He‘s the only one who gave him the details regarding Charles‘s death. He is a man of science admitting to a belief in the possibility of the supernatural. 🤔 2mo

dabbe @IndoorDame The 1939 movie starring Basil Rathbone shows that atmosphere quite well--the movie being in black and white. Oppressive is a profound description! 2mo

dabbe This book, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, and THE SECRET GARDEN (IMHO) capture the awful beauty and vast loneliness of the moors throughout England. Why then, is it my #1 place I want to visit? When I looked up pictures of Dartmoor, some were heart-wrenchingly glorious and some were absolutely spooky. Weather and the clouds contribute to the effect, too. I just love the wildness of it--GRIMPEN MIRE and all! (which is really the Foxtor Miles). 2mo

AllDebooks Pretty obvious Holmes was up to something! 🔍 He was on the hunt. 2mo

Librarybelle Holmes‘s excuses did not ring true for me. He‘s following a lead! And yes, Watson leaving Henry alone…sigh… 2mo

Cuilin He gave Watson two instructions, to keep an eye on Henry and, search out and gain intelligence on the people in the neighborhood . I‘m not sure how he was meant to do the two things at the same time. This leads me to believe Sherlock is definitely up to something. 2mo

See All 6 Comments

IndoorDame I agree, Sherlock is definitely playing a double game. Since he‘s usually so eager to follow clients home for almost no reason with a mystery that interests him this much I‘d say he‘s definitely playing a double game. Possibly he‘s even there himself in disguise? (I actually don‘t remember the details even though I love this one, so it‘s fun to make genuine predictions all over again) 2mo

AnnCrystal 😂 “What the heck“ is exactly what I said...I also don't believe that Sherlock Holmes remained in London.

Dr. Watson should have waited to work out some sort of “bodyguard“ schedule with Dr. Mortimer.
2mo

dabbe Excellent possibilities, everyone! Holmes could still be following leads in London, which would not make us privy to what's going on there. Or, he's in disguise and is there, but we just don't know it yet. This plot device reminds us that it is Watson who is our storyteller because we follow him to Baskerville Hall and leave Holmes behind. What a bold move--to leave your detective out of the book for a few chapters! 2mo

AllDebooks A lot of emphasis on the missing boots suggests there is a real animal involved. The return of the new boot supports this (no scent). 2mo

Librarybelle It‘s interesting that the one boot is found in a corner that has already been checked. My guess would be it is tied to the mystery. Good point, @AllDebooks ! 2mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks yes!! Also someone was able to get really close to return the missing new boot. 2mo

See All 8 Comments

IndoorDame They definitely highlight the importance of footsteps, and throw Dr. Mortimer in the light of a prime suspect. 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin So close and yet being able to evade the hotel workers. 2mo

Bookwomble The literary trope of giving authenticity and authority to an account by attributing it to an older (invented) source. I can immediately think of Geoffrey of Monmouth using the device for The History of the Kings of Britain, but I'll bet it goes back further. 2mo

Bookwomble Inspiration for the back story probably came from the legend of Squire Richard "Dirty Dick" Cabell. Doyle was assisted in plot elements of the story by Bertram Fletcher Robinson, who researched Dartmoor legends of the phantom hound, and after some acrimony received ⅓ of the royalties of the book. The tagged book is a fictional account of Doyle's & Robinson's collaboration and falling out ? Robinson died young, allegedly due to the Mummy's Curse!

The Baskerville Legacy: A Confession

2mo

AllDebooks I agree with @Bookwomble it adds authenticity 2mo

See All 8 Comments

Librarybelle Perfect catch of that trope, @Bookwomble ! It adds authenticity to the story. As for the length of it, I think it‘s really setting a mood. Conan Doyle has created a spooky scene, on the moors no less. 2mo

Cuilin Definitely lending authenticity and creating an atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the novel. 2mo

IndoorDame We‘ve definitely had several stories before that have started with someone recounting a family legend or history verbatim to set the scene. Since the family member isn‘t the client initially, a written document makes sense so we know it‘s “true”. 2mo

dabbe There seems to be nothing better historically than a primary source document, even if said document refers to the supernatural. I think Doyle learned from his past two novels because this one gives us multiple subplots; diverse characters; and a plethora of suspects, clues, theories, and red herrings. Plus, the story spans hundreds of years. No wonder it's his magnum opus.

Thanks for the deets, too, @Bookwomble! 2mo

AnnCrystal I agree with @Bookwomble & @Librarybelle!

It gives more accountability to the legend, or to set atmosphere for the reader.

Also, Doyle was said to be a believer in the paranormal, maybe this was his chance to write such a scene.

It is interesting info you shared on this scene @Bookwomble.

Librarybelle Miss Stapleton‘s warning was interesting—what is she hiding? We got a good impression of the moors and the bogs and the easy disappearance of things, so I‘m sure that will play a role as the story progresses. The missing boot is another intriguing piece—where is it??? 2mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle Yes, the boots!! Who is following him in London? The crying in the night? The circumstances of Charles‘s death and those foot/paw prints. So many it‘s great. 2mo

IndoorDame Yes! The boots! Why did the person following him in London give Sherlock‘s name? Is the Notting Hill murderer being on the loose just a coincidence? Who can we trust in Devonshire when everyone is keeping secrets? What was Sir Charles running from?… the clues and questions seem endless 2mo

dabbe We also have the warning cut in pieces from a London paper, warning Sir Henry to stay away from the moors. And the beard of the man in the cab--is it real or fake? Mr. Barrymore has a dark beard, too. 2mo

AnnCrystal The characters concern level about the escaped convict seems in the background.

AllDebooks I really enjoyed it and loved Watson having a bigger narrative. 2mo

Librarybelle It‘s interesting that we jump right into the story despite the prior story ending in Holmes‘ supposed demise. This is my first time reading through the whole canon, and my first time reading this story…timeline-wise from Watson‘s telling, is this supposed to be read thinking the events take place before the Falls or after the Falls? Just curious. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - I am wondering the same thing! Are we going backwards in time, and Holmes is actually still (presumably) dead? Or have we skipped over a miraculous survival??? 2mo

See All 21 Comments

Cuilin I absolutely love it. It‘s perfectly paced. So many details. 2mo

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle Though we‘re reading the canon in the order it was published, this story is set before the Reichenbacher Falls incident. 2mo

IndoorDame @Cuilin I agree completely about the pacing and the details! 2mo

TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - Thank you!!! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed this one immensely. 2mo

CatLass007 I thought it sounded like Dr. Watson was recounting a story that took place when he was still sharing quarters with Holmes, before he met his wife. 2mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin ! 2mo

Read4life This is one of my favorite Holmes stories. I agree with @Cuilin about the pacing and details. 2mo

dabbe HOUND takes place in 1889. Holmes comments on Mortimer's walking stick, where the date on it is 1884, that that was 5 years ago. “The Final Problem“ takes place in 1891.

Doyle wrote “The Final Problem“ in 1893 and HOUND was published in THE STRAND from 1901-1902 as a way to appease the public for killing off SH. It was so successful, he brought the detective back to life. A question I have: why not keep writing stories ⬇️ 2mo

dabbe about the 500-1000 cases Holmes already solved instead of bringing him back to life and have brand new stories going forward? There are so many fascinating stories that Watson alludes to throughout the ADVENTURES and MEMOIRS--but only by TITLE. Doyle could have written those stories instead. 🤔 2mo

AnnCrystal First, I'd like to thank @dabbe for allowing me to join in on this buddy read...I know that I signed on “totally“ uninvited 😳😉.

I'm excited to finally read this, and I'm glad that it has been awhile since I've watched a movie version.

Nice to read the words written by Doyle. His style isn't what I expected, yet I'm not sure what I expected, therefore I am not disappointed.

I never realized that this story was written to appease the public! 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal You are NOT uninvited! We welcome you with open arms and are glad you're joining us on this journey with SH and JW! 🤗 2mo

Periodically, I get a short book on Serial Reader that I‘ve always meant to read. The Hound of the Baskervilles was my choice this time. I didn‘t guess the solution at first, but looking back on the story, all the clues are there. I enjoyed it.

I have read the two easy versions for students. Unfortunately, the Macmillan one is not available in Switzerland anymore. I had to use the BlackCat one. Both of them do have tasks for the students to solve, but the BlackCat ones disrupt the flow of reading because the task are before and after thr chapters. Sometimes I could not find the novel‘s text anymore between. 🤦‍♀️

#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude
I've always been a fan of whole albums, enjoying repeat listens from start to fish, figuring out my favorite tracks, and sometimes reevaluating after a few listens. But I'm so distracted nowadays with all the options a streaming world offers that I only just gave a second listen to this recent release from Palehound, an indie rock band I've been following for awhile. And it's probably my favorite of theirs so far.

Billypar It's hard not to fall in love with El Kempner's vocals - both her sound and the lyrics. This is one is Independence Day: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Z2hjkmfCfIG5gKslBs0bd?si=jNo7JfY_SfqCCpNt6b8lKA&... 8mo

BarbaraBB Listening to while albums, those were the days. 8mo

vivastory I have a ton of playlists in my spotify library & I try to not fall in the trap of turning them on all day because it can be easy to do. Will def check this out. Full album listening is def an art! 8mo

TieDyeDude @Billypar Thanks for sharing. I recently turned off the continue playing option on Spotify. I'll start with an album and realize after a while that I have no idea what's playing because Spotify went rogue. This way, after the album is done, I have to consciously choose what to listen to next (but it's usually some auto playlist 😅) 8mo

batsy It's funny that streaming does that, I feel like I struggle to listen to whole albums too because a playlist of songs is easier on the attention span if that makes sense. Like an album requires attention like a book. Definitely feel all of the content now is geared towards a broken attention span 🙃 8mo

Billypar @AmyG That must have been a fantastic show! I saw them open for Speedy Ortiz, but I would like to see them as the main act at some point. 8mo

Billypar @BarbaraBB I haven't given it up, but it's more like many albums once or twice instead of a handful over and over! 8mo

Billypar @vivastory Definitely true. Whether it's playlists or albums, after so long of having it in the background, I stop enjoying it, and I need to unplug for awhile. 8mo

Billypar @TieDyeDude Yeah, I've had the same experience - I don't enjoy the autoplay as much. Though one exception was a few weeks ago when we were recommending Latino artists: I found so many great artists via the autoplay, starting from the recommendations people were sharing. So, if you know next to nothing about a genre, it helps I guess. But usually not otherwise. 8mo

Billypar @batsy A lot of people assume that because I'm a reader, it means I have this great attention span, and...nope! 😆 I've been broken by the internet just like everyone else, and albums do take more attention. Though I like playing old favorites while I work - I will still fire up my iTunes library for that purpose. 8mo

AmyG @batsy When my classic ipod broke, and Apple stopped making them, I had to learn a new way of listening to music. Hence, streaming. I now make playlists of new music by year…and YES, it has affected my attention span. I so get it. But I do listen to albums, though only ones I really love. @vivastory Ha, I have so many playlists now. Playing with Spotify, going down band rabbit holes and playlists are now an “activity”. 8mo

SconsinBookyBadger Back in the days when cassettes were a thing I‘d listen to them to the point of wearing down the tape reel. CDs were the best invention ever & replaced so much ruined cassettes. Once Napster came along & paved the way for Spotify my attention span 📉. Your post sparked an idea to put in more effort to enjoy music fully. 8mo

Billypar @SconsinBookyBadger I still love CD's - I've been buying them more at record shops lately because it's a good way to find 'new' old music you didn't know you needed. My 2012 Civic's mileage is getting on the high side, so I've got to enjoy them now while I still have my car's player! 8mo

TieDyeDude I have listened to this album twice already! Great recommendation 8mo

Billypar @TieDyeDude Glad you liked it! 8mo

I‘m hooked. I have to read ALL the Sherlock Holmes now! It‘s always so hard for me to review mysteries because I feel like I might inadvertently give away too much. I was a bit saddened that as my first Holmes story it didn‘t have much of him in it. I was also surprised at how often I laughed. I wasn‘t expecting that. This was a great read and I‘ll be keeping an eye out for more to add to my collection. 😍

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. 7/10 rating. Pretty good book, but the ending was quite predictive. Not bad though! Fun to read, though sometimes it was hard to concentrate. Overall, enjoyable but I liked "A Study in Scarlet" best.

Realising that I've been concurrently reading of the two most famous literary moors: Dartmoor in the vicinity of Baskerville Hall and the great Grimpen Mire, and the "wily windy moor" around Wuthering Heights. Neither seems to be a healthy place ?

A very not Sherlock approved setting for finishing up this read, but this cocktail pop is yummy!

I haven't read much Doyle, interesting how this book (#5) mostly follows Watson. There is a bit of misogyny like you would expect for the time but the layered mystery was interesting, I am still more of a Christie reader (her anti-Semitism and racism put me off there though)
This was just fine. Glad it is off the shelf.
