This reader is equipped with various auto scroller speeds to make a more pleasurable reading experience. Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Hound of the Baskervilles is a crime novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in the Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound. The rich landowner Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the park of his manor, surrounded by the moorland of Dartmoor, in the county of Devon. He appears to have died from heart attack, but the victim's close friend, James Mortimer, is convinced that the death was due to a supernatural creature, which haunts the moor in the shape of an enormous hound with blazing eyes and jaws. Fearing for the safety of Baskerville's heir, his nephew Sir Henry, who is coming to London from Canada, Mortimer appeals for help from Sherlock Holmes. The doctor also reveals that he found the footprints of a gigantic hound near Sir Charles' dead body, but did not report it knowing that no one would have believed him.... ## Key features - Auto-scroller with adjustable speeds - Classic crime novel - Sherlock Holmes mystery - Digital reader format - Set on Dartmoor, England ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Remove Ads | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (7 of 7) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-hound-of-the-baskervilles/id350387619/reviews.md ### 4/5 — My review *2024-06-06* When it comes to the app itself I like that you can change the color of the text and background and you can change the speed of the auto-scroll or turn it off. As for the book it is classically Sherlock Holmes lol It's everything you would expect a Sherlock Holmes book to be. And the ending actually surprised me and it was always interesting to find new information on the case. I recommend this to anyone who likes mystery novels and/or Sherlock Holmes. I think I'll be reading it again sometime ☺️🕵🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — JCab😂 *2020-01-30, version 2.3* It’s boring ash, my teacher made us read it ### 5/5 — Perfect app! *2019-01-05, version 2.3* I forgot a book which we were reading and I needed it to complete my homework. I need to be able to see the book, so audiobooks were useless. I found this app and now I’m fine! ### 4/5 — Nice Collection of Sherlock Holmes *2017-04-04, version 2.3* Very good Watson ### 5/5 — Good *2013-01-06, version 1* Would like screen lock, smoother scrolling and place marker ### 5/5 — Five stars!! But... *2012-02-17, version 1* The only issues are -can't read while lying down. Can you add a rotation lock? -can't find where I left off. Can you have an option to leave where you last were? Love the book, thanks :) ### 2/5 — Doesn't keep up with your page. *2010-10-09, version 0* This would be a great free app if every time I opened it up I didn't have to spend five minutes trying to figure out where I left off reading. When you re-open the app it goes automatically to a list of chapters--not the last page you were on. So every time I want to use it I have to first remember which chapter I'm on and then how far into the chapter I am. As I only read books on my phone when I have a few minutes to fill, this problem basically makes this application useless for me. ## Frequently asked questions about The Hound of the Baskervilles! ### Does The Hound of the Baskervilles! have ads?
