Book summary

An old legend says that a monstrous hound haunts the Baskerville family on the Devon moor. One evening, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his face frozen in terror. Near him are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are called in to protect his heir.

It is Sherlock Holmes's most famous case, amid fog, bogs and fear of the supernatural.

Full of suspense, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.
