About this listen

He took on Sherlock Holmes and lost. Now he wants revenge.

In 1888, Sherlock Holmes slayed the spectral hound haunting the Devonshire moor, laying to rest the curse of the Baskervilles once and for all. The perpetrator escaped into the night and was presumed drowned, consumed by the murky bog...

In truth, the criminal mastermind survived the night to nurse his wounds and plot his revenge against Sherlock Holmes.

A MAN NAMED BASKERVILLE recounts the life and times of Rodger Baskerville, exiled heir to the esteemed family's fortune. His journal records his adventures from the Amazon rainforests to the beaches of Costa Rica to Victorian England, where he attempts to take his rightful place at Baskerville Hall. Along the way, he peels back the layers of family secrets and scandals untold in Dr. Watson's account of the demonic hound haunting the Baskervilles.

Most of all, he describes a Sherlock Holmes unlike the legendary detective you think you know.

A MAN NAMED BASKERVILLE is a sizzling new take on the Arthur Conan Dolyle classic that was hailed as a masterpiece of the English language, named one of the most influential books ever by the BBC and Le Monde, and has been beloved by Sherlock Holmes fans worldwide for over a century.

It's a rousing adventure, from start to finish. What's more—it's a Sherlock Holmes story unlike any you've read before.

Roger Baskerville, the villain in AC Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles gets fleshed out in this book by Jim Nelson. A first person account of Roger Baskerville’s history, back story and thoughts of a son of a second son who believes his rightful inheritance was stolen from him. His hatred and bitterness taints his entire existence and poisons those around him. The book gives the reader some insights into the development of such a criminal and it is disturbing. The narration by Michael Langan is outstanding. His performance of many characters, accents and dialects is wonderful and adds immensely to the enjoyment of the book.

I must be honest and say I was rooting for Jack the whole time. He was only trying to obtain what was rightfully (or should have been) his. Tony and Beryl seemed like fair weather friends. They supported Jack's actions for a while, then they turned on him. This was an excellent story that quickly drew me in. I have long admired Holmes, but in this story I was ticked off at his intercession. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator was great at bringing the characters and story to life. I enjoyed it immensely.
