We are so excited to have begun our First Thursday book discussions for adults again through Zoom. We had a wonderful discussion of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum in November, and on December 3 from 12-1 p.m., we will be talking about “The Hound of the Baskervilles” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote four novels and several stories about this detective and his sleuthing companion, Dr. Watson. If you haven’t read any of this series, “The Hound of the Baskervilles” is considered by many to be the classic Sherlock Holmes novel. In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel with a perfect rating from the Sherlockian Scholars poll by The Baker Street Journal.
It is a crime mystery set in Devon and tells the story of a family cursed by a demonic hound that kills many Baskerville heirs. Holmes is contacted to help after Sir Charles Baskerville was found dead with an expression of horror and the footprints of a gigantic hound near the body. Join us for an online discussion as Holmes and Watson try to prevent another death of the next heir, Sir Henry Baskerville. “The game is afoot!”
