Summary

Based on real events, The Baskerville Legacy is a thrilling, frequently terrifying exploration of friendship and rivalry, love and lust, ambition and the limits of talent. It takes us from the clattering heart of Edwardian London to the eerie stillness of ancient West Country moorland, where a treacherous mire might swallow a man in seconds -

Baskerville Summary

Baskerville by John O'Connell

Baskerville Reviews

A period-perfect exploration of ambition and resentment, ideal for a misty autumn night by the fireside * Financial 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 *
O'Connell infuses real events and people with fiction to make this clever, atmospheric and elegant chiller. * The Times *
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 *
