Conan Doyle's "Valley of Fear" Synopsis and Comments - My favorite in the Sherlock Holmes series!
As I mentioned in the title, this work, "The Valley of Fear," is my favorite in the Sherlock Holmes series.
In the commentary at the end of the book, it is written, "Some reviewers seem to be more attached to this work than to 'The Hound of the Baskervilles,' which is generally regarded as Doyle's masterpiece," and I am one of them.
It is true that "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is probably better known and more popular. Until I read "The Valley of Fear," I too thought of Holmes as "The Baskervilles.
But after reading "Valley of Fear," I was completely hooked on the fun of this work, and that is exactly why I read it over and over again.
