Publisher's Summary
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.

Could It Get Any Better?
Nope, probably not! After listening to a dramatized version, I decided I needed to revisit the genuine Conan Doyle article.
Dated it may be, and it may have become something of a cliche, but "The Hound" still resonates. It's a great, suspenseful yarn and makes for a wonderful short listen - especially with the hallowed tones of Derek Jacobi.
I say go for it!

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.

A Classic Read by a Master
Always enjoyed this tale but Derek Jacobi’s narration of it makes it even more enjoyable. I would listen to him reading the instructions off of a box of frozen chicken fingers.

Great story! Great Narrator!
Classic Sherlock Holmes story set on a creepy moor. Probably the inspiration for a lot of werewolf stories. Narrator is outstanding!

Outstanding Narration!!!
Derek Jacobi's voice is so wonderful, he creates such a great atmosphere, one which I felt I was actually inside the story or watching a live play because of which. Highly recommend this audio version of this classic 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.
