About the book review
Holmes’s friend Dr Watson tells the story. Dr Mortimer, a country doctor from Devon, visits Holmes and Watson in London. He reads them a paper about the legend of the Baskervilles. It tells of a huge black hound or giant dog that haunts the Baskerville family. Family members always die sudden and mysterious deaths. Dr Mortimer thinks the hound murdered Sir Charles Baskerville, his neighbour. He is worried about Sir Henry Baskerville, who is arriving from America to inherit Sir Charles’s fortune. While Sir Henry is in London he receives a letter warning him to ‘Keep away from the moor’. Holmes and Watson also see a mysterious man following Sir Henry.
Watson agrees to travel to Devon with Sir Henry and Dr Mortimer. As the story develops he reports many strange happenings back to Holmes: an escaped prisoner, a mysterious light on the moor at night, strange sounds, like a dog barking. In the final chapters of the book the hound appears and Holmes discovers the murderer at last.

And we hurry together down the stairs and into the street. We see Dr Mortimer and Sir Henry walking towards Oxford Street.
We follow them a little way, but they do not see us. Suddenly Holmes cries:
“There's our man, Watson! Come along!”
I see a cab with a man in it. The cab is following Dr Mortimer and Sir Henry. The man in the cab has a black beard. He looks at us and shouts to the driver. Suddenly the cab goes off down Regent Street. It disappears into the traffic.

On the way back I am surprised to see Miss Stapleton sitting on a rock by the side of the path.
“Dr Watson,” she says. “I want to say sorry. Do not worry about my words.”
“But what is the danger?”
“Do you know the story of the hound?"
“I do not believe that nonsense.”
“But I believe it. Please, listen to me. Take Sir Henry away from this place. The world is wide. And this place is dangerous for members of the Baskerville family.”
Then she gets up and goes back towards Merripit House. I continue my walk to Baskerville Hall, thinking about the danger.
