Marco Todisco legge Il mistero della camera gialla di Gaston Leroux, un audiolibro della collana Anche i giovani leggono i classici, con cui Audiolibri Salani propone grandi classici della letteratura internazionale interpretati da celebri volti giovani in una chiave moderna e coinvolgente. Un classico che Agatha Christie definì “un capolavoro” del genere giallo costruito intorno a un omicidio commesso all’interno di una camera chiusa ermeticamente.

Un vero rompicapo poliziesco: un delitto commesso in una stanza ermeticamente chiusa. Leroux cita espressamente i suoi colleghi autori che hanno proposto rompicapi simili: Edgar Allan Poe e Arthur Conan Doyle. Il personaggio in grado di risolvere il mistero è profondamente diverso da Sherlock Holmes: è un giovane reporter di appena diciott'anni soprannominato Rouletabille, che, a fine romanzo, l'autore promette di far diventare il protagonista di altri suoi romanzi. Ma il romanzo è davvero ben congegnato e nessun dettaglio rimane privo di spiegazione.

E il leggendario fantasma sarà poi davvero un essere soprannaturale? L'archetipo del mostro e della bella viene riproposto in questo avvincente romanzo, insieme a note ironiche e romantiche che colorano di rosa il nero del mistero.
