Russell and Holmes find themselves back on Dartmoor, location of his most famous adventure in the Hound of the Baskervilles. Another ghostly hound has been spotted on the moors, accompanying a ghostly carriage, and Holmes is investigating as a favor to his aged and dying friend the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould. This 4th volume of the series is a little on the tedious side as the reader goes through over half the book filled with pages of description of the wild, desolate haunting moors and its curious inhabitants. While fascinating, this slowed the action down a bit as if caught in one of the moors' many bogs, but once it picked up again we are treated to as exciting and satisfying a conclusion as Doyle has penned.
