Der Hund der Baskervilles

That felt good. After more than three weeks, I finally had time to read again. Unfortunately, I had started the book and then didn't have time to read anything else, so I couldn't finish it until now. As a result, I feel like I couldn't fully enjoy it, even though it deserved to be enjoyed. It was my first story about the famous Sherlock Holmes and Watson duo, and I gained a lot of impressions, especially from the English original. For one thing, it's not something you can read while being distracted by a constant noise level, such as conversation. It requires (in my personal opinion) a fair amount of concentration. The writing style is of inestimable value. It is artistic and beautiful, extremely detailed and well thought out. I also really appreciate the "British charm" and sophisticated language. Furthermore, now that I finally had the chance to read it properly in one go, I must say that I was able to experience the famous unbreakable suspense, especially at the end!

Hat mir wirklich gut gefallen. Ich mag diese alten Krimis, wo auch mal nicht ein Plotttwist den nächsten jagt. Es entwickelt sich langsam aber ich fand es wirklich gelungen. Holmes Gedankenspiele und wie er ermittelt und auch das Zusammenspiel mit Watson fand ich gut beschrieben. Auch das Setting "Dartmoor" hat gut gepasst und hat das gruselige unterstützt. Für mich ein gelungener Krimi und ein Klassiker :)
