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]
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]
