Not much to say, I like anything Sherlock Holmes. :)

Recently reread this after having read it years ago as a kid. It held up surprisingly well. It is a fun little romp, with Watson trying to protect the last scion of a family from the hell-hound that's supposed to have cursed his ancestors for two hundred years. The setting is moody and heavy, with the plot offering with one good red herring, some eccentric minor characters. However, it is a 19th work, and may seem unsophisticated. It also contains some outmoded language. But all in all, just a whole lot of fun.

"El mundo está lleno de cosas evidentes en las que nadie se fija ni por casualidad."

Quizás el caso más famoso o icónico de Sherlock Holmes, cosa curiosa porque el detective no está presente en 100 de las páginas y en realidad la resolución del caso es lo de menos. Pero Doyle logra una ambientación atmosférica e inquietante en los páramos de Dartmoor, bordeando el relato de terror gótico. Todo se construye para llegar a un desenlace breve pero impactante que no pierde fuerza aunque se conozca el secreto.

I think what makes this work so much better than the previous Holmes books is that Doyle is so much stronger in the voices of Holmes and Watson than in those of other characters, and he made the choice not to digress to the POV of a different character in this book.
