I have never-ever reviewed crime thrillers, will try to do justice for the benefit of the readers and myself (in preserving notes) :PFor someone like me, who is mercurial, and not into crime or murder mysteries, why would I pick one?Trying to add a bit of excitement and transforming a languid lazy day into a gleeful one!

My Grandpa Cannon loved this story, and he often told of a time when he went to see a "picture show" about the Hound of the Baskervilles. "It scared the willies out of me," he said, and then he and his friend had to part ways as my grandpa rode his bicycle home in the dark.He was thinking about this devil-hound, and then he heard something panting behind him.
