I much preferred this over the first Joseph Rouletabille book, The Mystery of the Yellow Room. This felt more crafted than the first, which is quite a feat considering the first one was nothing to sneeze at. The reader learns more about Rouletabille this round, back to his childhood and what sparks his memories of the lady in black in the first book. It's not required to read The Mystery of the Yellow Room first, but I think it enhances the reading to already have a little idea as to who this...more
É fácil compreender como uma geração alimentada a doses semanais de centenas de conteúdos policiais, desde série a livros, passando por filmes, seja um pouco mais difícil de contentar do que as anteriores, contudo, isso não significa que devamos perdoar tudo às narrativas antigas.
