Interesting story. Didn’t like it was much as the first one but was still intrigued until the end.

De rápida lectura, y mucho más interesante que su predecesor (lo cual no le quita méritos al anterior sino que se los da a este), debo decir que me gustó bastante.

La relación de Holmes y Watson se nota mucho más consolidada, con unos momentos de cercanía que te calientan el corazón.

El caso en sí también resulta bastante interesante, y como de costumbre, las técnicas de Holmes para deducirlo todo cuesta creer que hayan sido escritas hace más de 100 años, cuando la medicina forense no era ni siquiera una idea.

El detalle del "enamoramiento" entre Mary Morstan y Watson es (para mi) un poco forzado. Peeeero como se escribió en la época vistoriana y yo poco sé de las costumbres de cortejo de esas épocas, me guardo mis quejas y me quedo con la maravillosa impresión que me dejó el libro y la historia.

Súper recomendado para todos aquellos a quienes nos encanta Sherlock Holmes en todas sus presentaciones.

I *loved* this book. It is a first-rate 'ripping yarn' - a Sherlock Holmes mystery. Maybe some should be aware that there are some racist elements to this story - but, then again, at the time of writing they didn't consider such things racist. I managed to keep my innocence as I read, and it was only after I had finished that this was pointed out to me.

Maybe we're just getting a bit too sensitive nowadays. Or maybe I'm just too childlike in my innocence and don't notice things which some would consider 'un-PC'.
