I read the Suspense thriller novel - The Hound Of The Baskervilles based on the supreme detective Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during my middle school days as it was among the few suspense books available at my school library. Since then, I am a huge fan of Sir Arthur and his works and also of Sherlock Holmes.
As I was a middle school boy those days, I found the literature and vocabulary of the book really tough to understand and interpret. Also because of lack of understanding due to the use of high end language in the book, I lost interest in the initial pages of the novel but as a kept reading further, my interest grew to a level when I could not sleep thinking of what will happen next in the story! The plot of the novel is really spine chilling.
The story of the novel is based on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who try to find the suspense of the owner of a mysterious cane, that it left in their office by an unknown visitor. As Mr. Holmes starts his investigation, he finds some secrets about the baffling curse of the Baskervilles.
The novel is full of mystery, surprises and spine chilling thrill with great turns in the story. I found the novel a bit tough to read during my school days but now, I read many books of Sir Arthur and find them really really good.
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a masterpiece and is a must read book for suspense and mystery readers!
