The Revenge of the Hound is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel by Michael Hardwick, originally published in 1987.[1] It is Hardwick's second Holmes novel after 1979's The Prisoner of the Devil.[2]
The acclaimed novel,[3] a semi-sequel to The Hound of the Baskervilles, was authorized by the Conan Doyle estate.[3]
Reception
Kirkus Reviews called the book "the most authentic and convincing post-Conan Doyle Holmes adventure to date."[3] Publishers Weekly felt that "while it faithfully echoes a Holmesian novel in tone and design, this latest effort seems to lack any life of its own."[4] The Los Angeles Times called Hardwick's detail "predictably perfect" and predicted that Sherlockians "should take to the book as to comfortable old slippers."[5] January Magazine called it "a fine and faithful extension of The Hound of the Baskervilles.[6]
