Exploits of Sherlock Holmes in Combiners! (Febbraio 2023)

Recensioni

Un buon giallo classico con un paio di camere chiuse, una nascente storia d'amore, una ventata di soprannaturale, un'identità cammuffata (per la cronaca: avevo sbagliato personaggio) e, nello stile dell'autore, pure qualche momento umoristico.

Non so se dipende dalla traduzione ma ci sono alcune grosse imprecisioni: in almeno due occasioni i nomi dei protagonisti sono scambiati e ciò indispettisce molto durante la lettura; per il resto ad un certo punto diventa troppo confuso, il geniale dott. Fell quasi non appare e lo scioglimento non è per niente soddisfacente: non sempre in un giallo si sa che il colpevole viene punito per le più svariate ragioni (morali, di opportunità ecc) ma qui le considerazioni finali sono un po’ troppo buttate là e tirate via.… (altro)

quando si leggono gialli da quasi 40 anni si sa a cosa fare attenzione e purtroppo la lunga pratica toglie un po' di suspense alla lettura; Dickson Carr rimane una garanzia del giallo classico
