Produktinformationen zu „Baskerville “
Paperback edition of O'Connell's novel set in Edwardian England, featuring writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as a character. Based on real events, it sees the Sherlock Holmes creator collaborate with a young journalist on a 'real creeper' of a story, only for Conan Doyle to publish "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" alone. Written in Conan Doyle's style, it ties in with the current trend for Holmes, in the TV series "Sherlock" and in Guy Ritchie's movies.

Rezension zu „Baskerville “
A period-perfect exploration of ambition and resentment, ideal for a misty autumn night by the fireside --Financial Times O'Connell infuses real events and people with fiction to make this clever, atmospheric and elegant chiller. --The Times 4/5 stars... A thrilling novella... Doyle himself becomes not a villain but a dark character bedevilled by a complex private life and his mania for spiritualism... A rip-roaring addition to the extended library of all things Holmes. --Metro Engrossing... an eerie, pitch-perfect gothic tale, but it is also more than just a piece of literary archeology, probing questions of authorial ownership and fate and language in an atmospheric tour de force. --Catholic Herald
