The Hound of the Baskervilles

What really killed Sir Charles Baskerville? Is his nephew, Sir Henry, in danger from the legendary family curse, a gigantic black hound? Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on the case in this classic mystery, set on lonely Dartmoor in Devonshire. Neolithic ruins, a perilous quagmire, eerie sounds in the night, and (of course) fog all add to the fun, with an escaped convict thrown in for good measure. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden) (5 hr 52 min)

Reviews

Hound of Baskervilles

(5 stars)

McWigggle-3

Reader has performed admirably. She was able to convey the story in a manner that remained easy to listen to & entertaining.

Excellent reading only missing character voices

(4 stars)

A LibriVox Listener

This was my 3rd audio book and the first read by a woman. I thought the reader read at a brisk pace that was perfect. The story is great and not too long. I gave 4 stars and not five as the other two readers had done character voices when reading which I thought was outstanding

Great book and well read

The Goat

Among Conan Doyle's finest works. Narrator reads very well, briskly and clearly with her American accent. Narration actually grew on me as the story progressed. Unlike some Librivox readers she obviously knows and understands the book and intones appropriately.

a wonderful book and beautifuly read!!

Not my normal kind of book, but I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did as I found it really interesting throughout. The narration is done with a southern American drawl, I think, and I have to say that I found it quite appealing! Well worth a listen, even if you are not sure whether it is your sort of thing!
