About this audiobook
Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the mist-shrouded moor, his face twisted in pure terror, and the footprints of a gigantic hound nearby are the only clue. An ancient family curse whispers of a spectral beast, hell-bent on extinguishing the Baskerville line. With the last heir, Sir Henry, returning to claim his bleak inheritance, the stage is set for a murder most supernatural.
Faced with a case that seems to defy all logic — a case of footprints, family portraits, and echoing howls in the night — Sherlock Holmes detective must separate gothic myth from mortal malice. Dispatched to the desolate, treacherous landscape of Dartmoor, Dr. Watson becomes our eyes and ears, navigating a world of suspicious servants, secretive neighbours, and an escaped convict, all while a palpable sense of dread stalks the foggy ground.
In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Arthur Conan Doyle delivers not only his most celebrated and chilling novel but a seminal work of crime fiction. It is a flawless blueprint for the locked-room mystery transposed onto a vast, open prison of a landscape, where the environment itself is a suspect. Here, the rational mind of the detective confronts the primal fear of the unknown, proving that the most terrifying monsters are often all too human.
A pinnacle of the genre, this is essential reading for any connoisseur of crime, where every clue is classic and every shadow holds a secret.
