Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
Another satisfying tale from Val Andrews weaving Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H Watson into the very real events of the 1911 fire that ended 11 lives (including The Great Lafayette, illusionist extraordinaire) and caused the complete destruction of the Empire Theatre, Edinburgh. A nice touch using a photograph of the theatre in it's glory days on the cover. It was a cinema, bingo hall and then a night club in my youth, now it's the very prestigious Festival Theatre.

Typical of Andrew's Holmes series, the seminal event in ToD spawns a chain of events that move the story along in a cohesive, often unexpected manner. It makes for a more interesting read than a plot beaten to death to make length. Bonnie Dale Keck4,681 55

Sherlock Holmes and the Theatre of Death by Val Andrews
The Great Lafayette, real name Sigmund Neuberger, was a magician and illusionist appearing at the Empire Theatre, Edinburgh, Scotland. There has been a tragic fire in which many of the performers, including The Great Lafayette perished. His solicitors are having problems with the settling of his estate as he was a secretive man when it came to finances and his diamond rings were not on his corpse.
Holmes and Watson are in Perthshire, Scotland. Watson is enjoying the trout streams, and Holmes is relaxing by staying on the bank and enjoying the countryside.
They are interrupted by a man in a rowboat, bringing a passenger to find Sherlock Holmes. Septimus Greyshot of the firm, Luckens, Wild, Luckens and Greyshot, solicitors; is in charge of the estate of the unfortunate magician. He fears that the body found is not that of the Great Lafayette.
This mystery is full of twists and surprises and just when you think it couldnt take another twist, Val Andrews finds a way. The case is straightforward and rather easy to read. But the surprises are most certainly there!
The only thing that I did not was that the story ends abruptly, as if one had fallen from a cliff. I give the story four stars.
