Product Information

With no cliffhangers, the ending was fulfilling. Though gradually as the plot progressed, I conjectured, who the culprit could be! Watson does his best to discover the truth behind the hound, but his investigations turn up red herrings and more confusion. Even when the Barrymores reveal their relationship to the convict, Watson and Sir Henry’s pursuit of the convict leads only to hearing the eerie sound of the hound and the revelation of yet another mysterious figure hiding on the moor. Watson’s investigation of Laura Lyons initially appears to be a dead end. Fortunately, during this point in the investigation, Watson discovers Holmes has been hiding on the moors. Holmes has deduced that Mr. Stapleton is the culprit behind Sir Charles’s murder, however, without solid evidence, he cannot prove it. With the hound and local legend as his weapons, Mr. Stapleton has used the suggestive power of the moor as his ally in this crime. Watson also meets the Stapletons, a brother and sister who are friendly neighbors of the Baskerville estate. However, Miss Stapleton is clearly anxious, since she secretly warns Watson to leave the moor immediately, before learning he is not actually Sir Henry.
