Magistral

5 stars

Esta novela es una de las cumbres de Conan Doyle, si no la mayor. Es capaz de mantener al lector atrapado sin resistirse a seguir leyendo capítulo tras capítulo. Al contrario que en otros autores de misterio, no es, en mi opinión, tan extraordinario el misterio en sí, o su resolución más o menos sorpresiva, como la tensión narrativa y la trama de historias secundarias que va tejiendo. A pesar de ser el autor un apasionado del espiritismo y otras "ciencias" ocultas, no cayó en el error de hacer una simple historia de miedo, sino que guía a Holmes y Watson (el verdadero protagonista esta vez) en todo momento por los caminos de la deducción y la lógica para crear una obra fascinante. Imprescindible.
