Editorial Review
The Strange Cases is a proposal that satisfies both purists of the genre and readers looking for a light and fun read. The recovery of these unpublished stories brings freshness to the Sherlock Holmes myth while maintaining the original spirit of Watson's adventures. The humorous tone, far from detracting from the seriousness of the cases, humanizes them and makes them more accessible. A book that, without pretensions, more than fulfills its goal of entertaining and surprising.
