Los 38 asesinatos y medio del castillo de Hull : Y otras novísimas aventuras de Sherlock Holmes

Among the apocryphal tales featuring the great Sherlock Holmes, none can match the humor of the detective's latest adventures penned by Enrique Jardiel Poncela. In these stories, Holmes—whom everyone believed had perished at Niagara Falls—persuades Jardiel himself to step in as Dr. Watson’s replacement. Armed with his signature powers of deduction, he sets out to solve a series of mysterious crimes—including "The 38 and a Half Murders at Hull Castle"—in which the author displays hilarious wit. The narrative features characters such as the Romanian violinist Chulesko and others with voices "like a Norwegian ice skater," afternoons that fall "without hurting themselves," and, overall, a display of absurdist humor that keeps a smile constantly on the reader's lips.
