Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the Baskervilles | Pierre Bayard

1 post | 4 read | 2 to read

In his brilliant reinvestigation of the classic case of The Hound of the Baskervilles, Pierre Bayard uses the last thoughts of the murder victim as his key to unravel the mystery, leading the reader to the astonishing conclusion that Holmes-and, in fact, Arthur Conan Doyle-got things all wrong. Part intellectual entertainment, part love letter to crime novels, and part crime novel in itself, Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong turns one of our most beloved stories delightfully on its head.

Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the Baskervilles | Pierre Bayard

pick

As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I thought this was a pretty good book- it succeeded in convincing me that Holmes' conclusion in Hound of Baskervilles was incorrect, and the real criminal went undetected. It was more wordy than I felt was necessary, but worth the read all the same.
