London, February 1896. A bright crisp day is the first hint of the spring to come and a welcome intrusion into the winter gloom of the great industrial city. But as Watson tries to cheer up a restless Holmes, there is an urgent knocking at the door of 221B Baker Street. A moment later, a large man bursts into the living quarters of the famous pair. Alfred Bullimore is a very skilled but also an extremely frightened golfer, and he brings with him one of the strangest cases ever to be recorded in Doctor Watson's assiduous notes. What had seemed at first to be no more than tasteless horseplay at Royal Blackheath Golf Club is now threatening to escalate into serious violence. Already there has been an attack upon an elderly member walking his dog at dusk, and soon this is followed by an attempt at murder, which brings Holmes and Watson swiftly to the scene of the crime at the famous old golf club. The climax of the tale is set thrillingly on the last day of the 1896 Open Championship at Muirfield, with the solution as unexpected as it is timely. Noted crime author, J.M. Gregson has turned his attention to his own favourite detective duo of Holmes and Watson, and his first Sherlock Holmes novel will delight his fellow enthusiasts.

Sherlock Holmes and the Frightened Golfer
"Il fatto che Holmes si preoccupasse di verificare ciò che già sapeva mi mise in allarme; iniziai a pensare che prima che la giornata fosse finita avremmo avuto o un omicidio, o la soluzione del caso. Ma non entrambi, Dio mio, mi ritrovai a pregare fra me."
Partendo dal presupposto che se cercate una replica dello stile inconfondibile di Doyle e del "suo" Sherlock Holmes rimarrete delusi, questo giallo si è comunque rivelata una lettura godibile e intrigante al punto giusto, nonostante il golf sia per me lo sport tipo più noioso del mondo (mi spiace XD). Mi è spiaciuto che Sherlock sia così poco presente (praticamente solo all'inizio e alla fine....travestimenti a parte XD) e che il povero John sia stato fatto passare per un bacchettone pesante e a tratti fin troppo tonto quando nell'originale non era affatto così (o almeno non era così esasperato...diciamo che si trattava più di ingenuità e senso della giustizia....e dell'importanza della polizia XD). Il colpevole non lo avevo individuato lo ammetto (ma non è che io ci azzecchi spesso ^^'') ma probabilmente è stato il modo più semplice per l'autore di cavarsela anche e la spiegazione finale era un poco stirata in alcuni punti XD
