Arthur Conan Doyle

Among the problems Bayard highlights are: Why did the hound leave no marks on the first corpse, that of Sir Charles Baskerville? When Selden, the convict, dies wearing the clothes of Sir Henry Baskerville, the hound is never actually seen, so why assume that it was responsible? It does attack Sir Henry near the end, but only after a shot has wounded it first. --David Loftus, California Literary Review, December 7, 2008, review of Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles, by Pierre Bayard (via Milt's File)
