A classic detective story, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are asked to investigate the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, a baronet who seems to have died from fright. The arrival of his nephew, Henry, raises questions about Baskerville Hall's safety, due to a family curse involving a hellhound hunting Baskerville family members. I picked this up after hearing the first few chapters on the Calm app, but I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator of the edition my Libby had. I'm also not a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes adaptations, and it seems I'm not the biggest fan of Holmes generally. There were some good twists and turns in the story itself, but I find Holmes rather insufferable.
