Holmes doesn't recognise Baker Street – which is OK, as he and Watson can catch an Uber and escape to the country. And it just so happens that trouble is arising once again at Baskerville Hall – the newly redeveloped eco-glamping experience. Someone or something, almost in line with the traditional curse inspired by the "rapey" ancestral Baskervilles, is attacking what little bits of the original building there are – and scrawling graffiti more befitting Bristolian iconoclasts.

With not one but three books at once, this is a new series from a bloke who has done well out of spinning modern riffs on the Famous Five already (which explains a tiny cameo from someone in Chapter 19). It's quite the slender but quite the joyous affair, with olde timey Paget illustrations given new captions, as well as the whole conceit of this being a modern sequel to the original "Hound" story. It isn't brilliant – the jokes slip away for the second half to concentrate on the actual mystery, and perhaps three books are going to look like overkill with the "wow, isn't 2025 different from 1895?!" mindset. Two of the three feature the same quip involving punctuation pedantry. But as a small frippery they're perfectly acceptable, and nicely entwined in the original canon stories.

Returning to Baskerville Hall only to find a yoga retreat, Sherlock and Watson are dragged into another mystery in Dartmoor. As they investigate the recent death threats targeting the infamous mansion our detectives have to deal with a potential new hound as well as all things apparently 'woke', which is stirring up the locals.
This is a fun parody of the modern world and our heroes, who seem to be lost in the modern world.

I love these Sherlock Holmes parodies. This is a good short story full of mystery and intrigue. Bernie is a fantastic side character who just tells you like it is. And what a great familiar location for the story 'Baskerville Hall'.
If you're a fan of mystery and Sherlock Holmes give these stories a read. Love the illustrations too.
Thanks to NetGallery UK, the publishers and the author for letting me read this in return for an honest review.

Holmes and Watson return to the site of their most famous case – and discover someone is hounding the Baskervilles!
Sherlock Holmes needs a holiday, so Dr Watson has taken him to Dartmoor, where they find a very changed Baskerville Hall. The gaunt, gothic mansion has gone: it’s now an eco-friendly, zero-waste yoga retreat.
But trouble is (cold-)brewing beneath the solar panels. Someone is stirring up hate against the supposedly “woke” agenda at Baskerville and is sending anonymous death threats, in the form of a gun’s trigger and the word ‘BEWARE’! Even worse, there are reports that the slathering hell-hound on the moor has returned!
Can Holmes and Watson negotiate the heightened emotions between different social media tribes, without getting themselves permanently cancelled – or even murdered*?
