Here's a little quiz. Name a famous fictional detective. There are many. Hercule Poirot, Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Nancy Drew, Inspector Clouseau. But I bet the name that most people land on, maybe even you too, is Sherlock Holmes. He, or rather his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, all but established the genre of detective fiction. In the Holmes books, Doyle made his protagonist a brilliant amateur, an independent, eccentric intellectual operating outside standard police forces. He was accompanied by a chronicler sidekick, a loyal companion who acts as an idiot friend, a proxy for the audience who can be told of the protagonist's brilliant methods like deductive reasoning and hyper-observational science, logic, and forensic analysis.
Holmes also faces an arch-villain, a mastermind nemesis who matches our hero's intellectual prowess. It's a formula that makes for great stories, thrilling mysteries, and now fantastic podcasts. The Hound of the Baskervilles is the first story featuring Sherlock Holmes written after his apparent death in the earlier story, The Final Problem. Its massive success brought the famous detective back permanently, and in the episode we're sharing today from Noiser, the book is narrated by acclaimed British actor Hugh Bonneville. It's a riveting performance of a captivating story, and I hope you enjoy. While you're listening, be sure to search for and follow The Hound of the Baskervilles. We put a link in the show notes to make it easy for you.

I'm Hugh Bonneville, and welcome to The Hound of the Baskervilles, Part One. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in The Final Problem, he believed that he and his readers had seen the last of the great detective. Doyle was looking forward to working on other projects, but his most devoted fans had difficulty letting Holmes go. Furious letters soon began arriving on the author's desk, calling him a brute for murdering his own creation. 20,000 dedicated readers cancelled their subscription to The Strand magazine. Some even took to wearing black armbands in an extraordinary act of public mourning. After almost a decade, Doyle finally bowed to public pressure, penning a new Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles.
He didn't quite go so far as to resurrect his hero, not yet at least, choosing instead to offer an extra novel-length adventure that would fit neatly somewhere within the existing canon. It was released in monthly installments spread across nine issues of The Strand. And it was the huge success of this new tale, perhaps the most beloved detective story in all literature, even more than a century later, that ensured Holmes would inevitably return to the world of the living. appearing in another 30-odd stories produced over the next 25 years, and innumerable unofficial adventures ever since. So it is that, with Holmes missing presumed dead at the bottom of the Reichenbach Falls, over the next nine episodes we'll be bringing you his most popular adventure, just as his original readers experienced it.
