HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting - About 1884-85, most of story takes place at Baskerville Hall in Devonshire. The introduction and the conclusion of this classic mystery occur at Sherlock Holmes' residence on Baker Street in London.
|
|
Plot -
|
|
We begin our story on Baker Street where Holmes and Watson talk to James
|
|
Mortimer. He gives him the history of the Baskerville family starting with
|
|
Hugo, the first victim of the hound, all the way up to the most recent
|
|
slaying, of Sir Charles Baskerville. The next of kin is notified and he is
|
|
to carry on the family legacy and live his remaining years at Baskerville
|
|
hall in Devonshire. Now of course this was the place whereupon Sir Charles
|
|
Baskerville was slayed by this vicious hound.
|
|
As the story begins to develop, Holmes sends Watson to Devonshire with
|
|
Sir Henry to gather information on the recent murder. During his inquires
|
|
he came across many figures, there was a Mr. & Miss Stapleton who were
|
|
naturalists and also lived on the moor. They portrayed themselves as
|
|
brother and sister, but as you will find out later, they were more intimate
|
|
than that.
|
|
At about this time, a convict escaped who was referred to as "The
|
|
Notting Hill Criminal", his real name though was Selden Barrymore.
|
|
One night while Watson and Sir Henry were in the Hall, they observed
|
|
Mr. Barrymore (the Butler) sending signals through the window using a
|
|
candle. Through questioning he divulged that he was really doing a favour
|
|
for his wife for the escaped criminal was his brother in-law. Baffled by
|
|
this Sir Henry and Watson went to go and arrest this villain, they reached
|
|
him in time, but Selden managed to evade the authorities once more.
|
|
Through remenents of a letter written to Sir Charles Baskerville prior
|
|
to his death, it was written by a Miss Laura Lyons from Coombe Tracey. She
|
|
wrote this letter to finance her divorce and seeing how Sir Charles was a
|
|
nice man she thought he would agree. The meeting was in Yew Alley in front
|
|
of the gate at around 2am. The exact time of the death of Sir Charles.
|
|
Coincidence or Set-up?
|
|
Eventually along came Sherlock Holmes to aid Watson and ease him of
|
|
some of the pressure he had been experience due to Holmes' absence.
|
|
Together they found out that Mr. Stapleton had been feeding a hound out in
|
|
the moor. That night they told Sir Henry to take a walk along the moor to
|
|
see what happens. There were Holmes and Watson, above on a hill amidst the
|
|
dense fog. When all of a sudden a huge Hound revealed itself, Watson fired
|
|
one shot and the beat shrieked. The hound started heading towards Sir
|
|
Henry, but before it reached him Holmes put 5 rounds into the beast leaving
|
|
it dead in it's own path of terror.
|
|
At the end they had enough evidence to put away Mr. Stapleton away for
|
|
a faire chunk of his remaining years. Seeing how all loose ends had been
|
|
tied up, the dynamic duo returned to their Humble Baker St. residence and
|
|
had a cup of tea.

Rating -
|
|
|
|
I would recommend this book highly to the average person. It leaves
|
|
you with suspense throughout the whole novel and it stays there all the way
|
|
through. The outcome isn't predictable so therefore you feel like you are
|
|
living the story when you are reading it. Of course any Holmes' mystery
|
|
can be classified as being full of suspense and mystery! 9/10
