This could have done with a lot less slogging through the wet moors to question the populace, and fewer tedious details about the life and writings of Holmes' & Russell's host. It could also have done with less indulgence in nostalgia for the Hound of the Baskervilles. Although some of that was to be expected, more current-day spectral activity rather than just being told about rumors would have added a needed layer of suspense and Gothic creepiness. As it was, I mainly got the discomfort of the cold and wet moor drilled very successfully into my head. It did get more interesting in the last 1/4 though, enough to rescue the book from a 2 star rating.

A I totally agree with you. I enjoyed that level of detail in O Jerusalem, mostly because I was completely unfamiliar with the place and time.


Allison Yeah, I've enjoyed all the other books that weren't attempting to recreate anything way more. I still have that one ahead of me!


Lily But that is the beauty of it, slogging through and along the moors. The pace was perfect and lovely if one surrenders to it.
