THE GAME'S AFOOT...
It is November 1890 and London is gripped by a merciless winter. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by the fire when an agitated gentleman arrives unannounced at 221b Baker Street. He begs Holmes for help, telling the unnerving story of a scar-faced man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in recent weeks. Intrigued by the man's tale, Holmes and Watson find themselves swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events, stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to the teeming criminal underworld of Boston. As the pair delve deeper into the case, they stumble across a whispered phrase 'the House of Silk': a mysterious entity and foe more deadly than any Holmes has encountered, and a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of society itself. With devilish plotting and excellent characterisation, bestselling author Anthony Horowitz delivers a first-rate Sherlock Holmes mystery for a modern readership whilst remaining utterly true to the spirit of the original Conan Doyle books. Sherlock Holmes is back with all the nuance, pace and powers of deduction that make him the world's greatest and most celebrated detective.

When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Großartig!
Durch die eher negative Bewertung meines Vorrezensenten neugierig geworden, habe ich mir das Hörbuch sofort geholt und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Anthony Horowith hat es tatsächlich geschafft, ein "echtes" Holmes-Abenteuer zu verfassen, das A C Doyle selber nicht besser hingekriegt hätte. Natürlich fehlen auch viele alte Bekannte nicht, darunter Watson, Lestrade, die Baker Street Irregulars und noch einige mehr. Auch an Verweisen auf A C Doyles Originalerzählungen fehlt es nicht. Ich habe es genossen!
Der Sprecher ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Nachdem ich die Definitive Collection mit dem grandiosen Stephen Fry gehört hatte, war ich anfangs etwas skeptisch, was sich jedoch nach kürzester Zeit gelegt hat.

Wie von Conan Doyle, alas ...
Der Conan-Doyle-Nachlass kann beruhigt sein, denn Anthony Horowitz hat eine Sherlock-Holmes-Geschichte geschrieben die von seinem Erfinder sein könnte, leider.
Tatsache ist, dass der Mythos um Sherlock Holmes in der Vorstellung der Meisten eine Figur geschaffen hat, die mit der in den Büchern von Conan Doyle wenig gemeinsam hat. Denn der Holmes der Bücher ist nur exzentrisch und merkwürdig, der sich am Ende als Genie produziert und mit schier endloser Langeweile dazwischen. Und damit sind auch die Bücher beschrieben - nicht nur die von Conan Doyle, sondern auch dieses.
Sir Derek Jacobi ist ein großartiger Schauspieler, er kann nichts für die Schwäche des Textes, aber wenn er ihn nicht wie ein altersmüder und -milder Großvater vorgetragen hätte, es hätte vielleicht besser gewirkt. Alas ....
