Who wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles?

The Hound of the Baskervilles was one of four full-length Sherlock Holmes novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.This book is one in a series of Dective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. It is written by Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle a Scottish physician and prominent writer.


How was The Hound of the Baskervilles different from all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote four Sherlock Holmes novels and fifty six short stories. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" was the third Sherlock Holmes novel. Each of the other novels have two parts, the first part is where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson work out the clues to track down the criminal(s) and the second part explains the back story of why the criminal(s) did what they did and does not feature Sherlock Holmes until the very end. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is different because it does not have this second part (which are widely seen as slow and boring) and so flows better than the other novels. This is why "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is viewed as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's best Sherlock Holmes novel. Um, "The Sign of Four" is in one part.

What was the response from readers when Sherlock Holmes died?

When Dr. Conan Doyle wrote a letter to his mother indicating he was considering killing Holmes off so he could concentrate on more important works, she responded with "You can't; You mustn't. Conan Doyle ignored his mother's statement and killed him off in the story "The Final Problem". The world responded with disbelief and clambered for his return, and more than 20,000 cancelled their subscription to The Strand Magazine as a result. Conan Doyle did not resurrect Holmes until "The Adventure of the Empty House". Even "The Hound of the Baskervilles", which was written before "Empty House", was clearly documented as a reminiscence from before Holmes' alleged death.
