Asi nejznámější holmesovský detektivní román je neobyčejně působivým příběhem z ponurých anglických blat. Události, které se zpočátku vzpírají logickému chápání, doprovází atmosféra děsu a tajemství. Doylův životopisec a sám autor detektivek John Dickson Carr o Psu baskervillském napsal: „Je to jediná z holmesovských povídek, ať už dlouhých či krátkých, v níž je Holmes podřízen příběhu a nikoli příběh Holmesovi; co na ní čtenáře uchvacuje, není ani tak viktoriánský detektiv jako spíš tajuplnost gotického románu.“ Dvojjazyčné vydání doplněné lexikálním a gramatickým komentářem pod čarou.
