Review: The Hound of the Baskervilles & The Valley of Fear

The Hound of the Baskervilles & The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wish that we could do half stars on this site as I've rated this as 3.5 stars.

The hound of Baskervilles is a story of fear and legends mixing together to create a horror stricken fear of the Moores during the night. Of family connections and legacies. Another classic Sherlock Holmes story of mystery and cunning detective work. It's a tale of discovery and wonder and a masterpiece of fiction that I really enjoyed reading and found myself glued to the pages, wanting to know what happened next.

The valley of fear is a classic locked room mystery from Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Working together with the local police force and the members of the household, both Holmes and Watson have to figure out how the killer got in and then disappeared again when the house was locked up tight with no way out.
As much as I normally enjoy locked room mysteries, I just couldn't get in to this story very much nor could I really see the point of the second half where it tells you the history of the man who is supposedly was murdered in his own home. I often found my mind drifting away from the book and it took me a little longer to read it, so it was because of this story that my rating is not a full four stars.
