Sherlock Holmes: The new cases 14 The Bible solid murderer

A sadistic killer puts the London society in fear and terror. At night he kills men in the street, removed their tongues and leaves on nearby walls Bible verses. Even Sherlock Holmes is called here to the plan, because a good friend of the master detective is also among the victims. And so he determined soon parallel to Inspector Lestrade and always ends up together with him ...

Inspector Lestrade was also in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to interior of Sherlock Holmes stories and has brought it through some appearances to some fame. Also in the succession series with new cases of Romantruhe Audio of Scotland Yard inspector happens in the 14 episode he has the Bible fixed murderer equal to a large and significant part of the sequence but rather by interfering Holmes and Watson in their work and verified evidence of detective duo confronts hostile. The ferocity with which Holmes and Lestrade encounter here has surprised me a little, but also brings more power and energy in the act. This is well constructed in itself, is being successively concentrated here on many small aspects of the case, with the comprehensive view of the whole absent long. Thus the permanent transfer of the offender will then also somewhat surprising, here I would have liked a bigger focus. Holmes' character became more evident in the all-knowing, or at least pushed all unsuspecting superman, what in the otherwise very interesting and well-written final scene seems a bit strange. Otherwise a lot of positives to report, many successful and entertaining elements set the scene and provide a dynamic course of action.

The act specifies more clearly the center of attention on Holmes, Watson and Lestrade precisely, the supporting roles of Tobias Meister, Klaus-Peter Hoppe, Fabian Kluckert and Helmut Krauss, however, are generally well managed. Christian Rode says the Holmes again with a lot of energy, a great deal arrogance and much ingenuity he can draw a sharp image of the master detective. The wonderful Peter Watson Groeger speaks again with lots of charm and a certain bafflement, he plays Holmes repeatedly about the balls without drowning yourself. Lutz Harder than pretty stubborn and shortsighted Inspector Lestrade is here skilfully counterpoints and can cleverly placed in the sequence.

The background music of the episode is again designed quite restrained and focuses clearly on the dialogues. But just as the more dramatic scenes towards the end come sometimes to something superficial and conspicuous songs, concise set the accents. The soundscape is also rather cryptically, but well placed and decorated with believable sound.

The cover shows a scene that is only hinted at in the radio drama and Holmes the night shows in a morgue. The dark lighting is interrupted by a candle and an indicated glow, which produces interesting contrasts. The drawing style that is reminiscent of old paintings is, again become a real eye-catcher and awakens associations with the Victorian period in which to play the consequences.

Conclusion: A well-designed case with some strong elements and a thrilling narrated resolution. The conflict between Holmes and Lestrade directs thereof is a little out, but is built very entertaining. Also I'm the unmasking the perpetrator a little too fast, the small-scale investigations have liked to but. Overall, a thoroughly successful result.
