Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles

De: Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrado por: Derek Jacobi

Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound which is said to have haunted his family for generations? Arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. Claiming to be immersed in another case, he sends Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and to observe the suspects at close hand.

The Best Sherlock Holmes book

Derek Jacobi's masterful reading of "The Hound" stands paws snd shoulders above the dozens of other recordings of this classic. There is not much to say other than this is as nearly perfect a book as one could write. To stare that I highly recommend it would be an understatement.

Excellent Reading

I purchased this version of the story specifically because it was read by Derek Jacobi, and I'm so glad I did! He was absolutely perfect for the role, and even huffed and puffed Watson expertly. Recommended!

Derek Jacobi, 'nuff said

Worth it for his reading of the story's climax alone! Nice work from Sir Derek, and of course the original ripping good yarn.

great mystery/thriller read!

great storyline enshrouded with mystery enough to satisfy any sleuth of the novel alike. it is one of those books that you glance over certain points as unimportant or useless detail that you find you have to listen to it again after completion coming to find it was of utmost importance to the unraveling of the mystery. classic story still holds up today!

My favorite Sherlock Holms

I have listened to most of the stories of Sherlock Holmes but this has always been my favorite. This particular episode is one of the best if not the best when I could see well enough to read I read it at least six times a year. Great story.

Great Narrator

We listened to this book on a road trip and my kids thoroughly enjoyed it!

Lovely

Have always loved this story and Derek Jacobi brings it to life beautifully! He's AMAZING, I will definitely look for more from him.

Greatest of all Sherlock Holmes books

Derek Jacobi is a truly brilliant voice actor who bring this together as the definitive way to enjoy this amazing story.

6/5

The greatest of the Holmes books, narrated by the greatest of audiobook performers. In short, this is the single greatest audio recording of any of the Sherlock Holmes tales. Derek Jacobi is an absolute master of his craft, and I highly recommend other of Conan Doyle's works which he has performed.

Really good

I like speed and Accuracy that the reader has and how well he does.
10/10 will read 6 more time till I find something else to read
