The Hound of the Baskervilles

 Author- Sir Conan Doyle
 Pages read- 175-203  


   The Hound of the Baskervilles opens with a mini mystery—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson   speculate on the identity of the owner of a cane that has been left in their office by an unknown visitor. Wowing Watson with his fabulous powers of observation, Holmes predicts the appearance of James Mortimer, owner of the found object and a convenient entrée into the baffling curse of the Baskervilles. I think author use that start because it's very interesting for the mystery.


 Entering the office and unveiling an 18th century manuscript, Mortimer recounts the myth of the lecherous Hugo Baskerville. Agreeing to take the case, Holmes and Watson quickly discover that Sir Henry Baskerville is being trailed in London by a mysterious bearded stranger, and they speculate as to whether the ghost be friend or foe.Once in Devonshire, Watson discovers a state of emergency, with armed guards on the watch for an escaped convict roaming the moors. Doing his best to unravel these threads of the mystery, Watson discovers that Barrymore's nightly jaunts are just his attempt to aid the escaped con, who turns out to be Mrs. Barrymore's brother.Mr. Stapleton, Holmes has discovered, is actually in line to inherit the Baskerville fortune, and as such is the prime suspect. This things happened, because that's a story.


Author created very good  suspense, because he made long and very interesting sentences. His sentences are not simple they are so understandeble. He is very good author.


In the end I think they will catch  the red handed and everything will be fine.
