Reseña del libro "Sherlock Holmes - Murder at the Savoy and Other Stories (en Inglés)"
Three little girls from school are practising their parts in 'The Mikado', when one, a young heiress, disappears. Did she run away or was she kidnapped? In the second of five short stories told by Watson in the traditional style with a touch of humour, two baronets die at the Savoy Theatre under mysterious circumstances during a production of 'Patience', Gilbert and Sullivan's opera about bad baronets. Coincidence, or is an evil agency at play determined to make a hat trick of blue-blooded deaths? Early in his career, Holmes accepts a delicate case involving the young princes in the royal household and their tutor, artist Frank Miles. He is challenged to a duel by young aesthete Oscar Wilde, the tutor's friend. Holmes new co-lodger, stalwart Doctor Watson, accepts the role as Holmes' second, and finds himself reluctantly drawn into Holmes' bewildering world of plots and subterfuges. Notorious blackmailer Charles Augustus Milverton is murdered. Holmes is arrested for the crime, but arraigned on another, far more embarrassing, charge. In the final story, Holmes and Watson visit Windsor Castle to investigate the strange case of the Queen, Prince Albert, and Her Majesty's ghillie, John Brown. The worlds of Victorian theatre and 221b Baker Street collide in these traditional stories narrated by Doctor Watson with a touch of humour. Join Holmes and Watson in the stalls at the Savoy Theatre and enjoy the fun.
