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.

The plot

富有的英國人查爾斯·巴斯克維爾爵士,被發現死在荒原邊的莊園附近。他的醫生莫提默向偵探夏洛克·福爾摩斯講述自己在離屍體不遠處看到的東西。
