Read it as a Part of The Adventures of Sherlock holmes book. Logging each story seperately eithout dates, so it doesn't mess up my stats.

Audiobook Narrated by Stephen Fry.
3/5

Ended up being much less interesting than I initially anticipated from the strong beginning. Fairly predictable too.

had a real baskervilles vibe to it, especially in the atmosphere. however, was great to see the two men out of their home environment. (plus the digs at lestrade.)

This was a slow start but really picked up. It was a lot of fun - despite a little bit of a predictable story.

UPDATE: This book wonderful, yet not my absolute favorite of Holmes'. I liked it though, so 4 stars it is!

----

Adventure #4: I'm only on the fourth page of this fourth adventure, and already it's 5 star material. Wow. I can see why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was knighted.*


*It should be clarified that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for his work in the Boer Wars of Africa, not his spectacularly amazing Sherlock Holmes works.
