Kensington Outrage. Murder by Madman.
Both the experienced detective, Mr. Lestrade, and consulting expert, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, have concluded that this horrible series of events is the work of a madman, not a common criminal. No other explanation makes sense.
Someone is smashing Napoleon statues and the police have no idea why. Luckily, Holmes and Watson are on hand to help. Little do they know that these few smallcrimes will turn into one big adventure!

Oh man, these are so good. I figured out there must have been something hidden inside one of the statues when Holmes got Watson to point out that the criminal waited to break the statue under a street light. I love how Holmes is happy to work with Lestrade, and vice versa. Baudet stays true to the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle.

Ďalšia z detských adaptácií Sherlockových prípadov. Dobre vystavaný príbeh, zaujímavé rozuzlenie, myslím, že toto čitateľov dosť zaujme (moje deti určite :-)).
