Описание: This is Book 5 of the series «The Chronological Sherlock Holmes». <br/> &quot;The Hound of the Baskervilles" is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in «The Strand Magazine» from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England&apos;s West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his intended death in «The Final Problem», and the success of «The Hound of the Baskervilles» led to the character&apos;s eventual revival. In 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC&apos;s The Big Read poll of the UK&apos;s «best-loved novel.» In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel, with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100.
