Sherlock Holmes is probably the most famous detective in history—real or fictional. His powers of observation and deduction are legendary. His iconic image portrays the quintessential depiction of a detective.
The Hound Of The Baskervilles is the fifth title in the Sherlock Holmes Series. Holmes, along with his good friend Dr. Watson, are the premier dynamic duo in crime fiction and set the standard for aspiring detectives as well as mystery authors.
The story is a detective novel featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Holmes and Watson investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville. Local folklore tells the story of a vicious and supernatural hound that has cursed the family for generations, killing many of its members. An aged, retired Sherlock Holmes dealing with dementia but manages to uncover a plot by a neighbor who is actually a long-lost Baskerville, to inherit the estate by eliminating the heirs.
Uncharacteristically, the author emphasizes the eerie setting and mysterious atmosphere rather than Sherlock Holmes’s deductive ingenuity.
Quotes from the book—

“Elementary, my dear Watson,” is perhaps the most well-known phrase of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The only problem is, that phrase never actually appears in any of the manuscripts written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Caveat; Holmes did often use the word “elementary” to describe his deductions and did address Watson as “my dear Watson,” but he never combined the two into a single phrase.
