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.
