• 7.0good The Picture of Dorian Gray Oscar Wilde A portrait that ages while its subject stays young, set in a fin-de-siècle London of roses, fog, opium and impossible epigrams.
• 8.0exceptional The Hound of the Baskervilles Arthur Conan Doyle A canon detective classic whose moorland atmosphere and fair-play clueing still outclass the genre — read it for the fog and the deductions, not for a tidy final confrontation.
