First published in 1901, The Hound of the Baskervilles tells the story of Sir Henry Baskerville, who arrives at Baskerville Hall to investigate the mysterious death of his uncle, Sir Charles. Charles's strange and unexpected death resurrects long-ignored fears about a gigantic ghostly hound that is said to have haunted his family for generations.


Sherlock Holmes, always calm and calculating, uses his keen powers of observation to discern the fine lines between good and evil, truth and fiction, and reason and superstition, even as the story's events threaten to spiral out of control.

      Storyteller Jim Weiss narrates this adaptation of the classic Sherlock Holmes mystery about a suspicious death, an inheritance, and the legend of the hound of the Baskervilles. Weiss gives an assured performance in even tones that suit the logical Holmes as well as his colleague, Dr. Watson, the point-of-view character who throws himself into gathering facts about the residents and neighbors of Baskerville Hall. Weiss's British accents are strong, but his characterizations aren't always distinct, which is occasionally confusing in a complicated that requires listeners to pay attention to detail. Still, Weiss's reading is engaging, and this is a great way to introduce families and casual listeners to a classic of the genre. A.F. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

      L.A. Theatre Works delivers a lively and funny full-cast adaptation of Doyle's best-known Sherlock Holmes tale. Of course, Watson is the main character, and Geoffrey Arend gives him a gentlemanly and wry air that carries the story. Seamus Dever's mercurial Holmes and James Marsters's fish-out-of-water Henry Baskerville play off Watson's steadiness, which generates humor but also illuminates character. The plot revolves around an inheritance, a family's shame, and a mythic curse. As a dynamic Beryl Stapleton, Sarah Drew makes the character's manipulations entirely believable. The reactions of the live audience add depth and immediacy to the performances, making for a production that will appeal to a wide range of listeners.
