![]() ![]() At first, it seems fairly cut and dried, but Holmes senses something much more insidious at work here-perhaps even the work of that Napoleon of crime. Immediately, Inspector MacDonald drops by with the news of the murder, and the dream team are summoned to Birlstone House to solve the murder of John Douglas. John Watson receive a cryptic letter from one of Holmes’ informants, an agent of Moriarty, warning of an impending murder. The Valley of Fear is set before the fatal “The Final Problem”. The Valley of Fear is less known than the other three, especially The Hound of the Baskervilles or A Study in Scarlet, and, I have to admit, it’s for good reason. At the very least, I’ll be done by the end of the year. I’m struggling between tearing through the rest of it ( His Last Bow and The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which I’ll actually have to rent from the library) and trying to savor it, like a good piece of dark chocolate, but I always end just eating it. ![]() I have two collections left go and that’s it I will only reread the Sherlock Holmes canon in the future. ![]() Y’all, this is the final Sherlock Holmes novel. The Valley of Fear by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ![]()
