Synopsis

Londres. Un nevado diciembre de 1888. Sherlock Holmes, 34, languidece y ha vuelto a la cocaína después de una desastrosa investigación del Destripador. Watson tampoco puede consolar ni animar a su amigo, hasta que una carta codificada extrañamente llega desde París. Mlle La Victoire, una hermosa estrella francesa de cabaret escribe que su hijo ilegítimo de un lord inglés ha desaparecido, y ella ha sido atacada en las calles de Montmartre. Al llegar rápidamente a París con Watson a su lado, Holmes descubre que el niño desaparecido es solamente la punta del iceberg de un problema mucho mayor. La estatua más valiosa desde la Victoria Alada ha sido violentamente robada en Marsella, y varios niños pertenecientes al molino de seda en Lancashire han sido encontrados muertos. Las pistas en los tres casos señalan a un único hombre, intocable. ¿Se recuperará a tiempo Will Holmes para encontrar al niño desaparecido y detener una oleada de asesinatos? Para hacerlo debe ir un paso adelante de un peligroso rival francés y la amenazadora interferencia de su propio hermano, Mycroft. Esta última aventura, al estilo de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, envía al icónico dúo desde Londres hasta París y a los fríos terrenos agrestes de Lancashire en un caso que prueba al límite la amistad de Watson y la fragilidad y los talentos de la propia naturaleza artística de Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes is contacted by Mlle La Victorie, a French cabaret singer whose son has disappeared. But it seems that the missing child has links to the theft of a valuable statue. Now Holmes and Dr. Watson must find both the child and the statue. I think I must stop reading Sherlock Holmes books, a......more

Goodreads review by ♛Tash on September 16, 2015

Art in the Blood: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure reads like a cross between Benedict Cumberbatch's/Robert Downey's Sherlock more than Doyle's. Overall though, brushing aside comparison to Doyle's Watson's narration,Art in the Blood: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure is a good read. 3.5 stars.FRTC.......more

Yo soy esa persona extraña que lee y ve cuanto libro y serie inspirada en Sherlock Holmes se le atraviesa (¡hola, Cumberbatch!), pero no ha leído las historias originales de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I must admit, I was pretty impressed at how well this “new” Sherlock Holmes take fits with the rest of the canon. Accurate portrayal and although some of the ending was predicted, there was some unpredictable elements. I personally thought she nailed Watson a touch better then Holmes, but my favorit......more

I bought the book and reread this story, prior to reading the second book in the series. I liked this story much better in print. I am upping the star count......more
