Description As Books The Valley of Fear (Sherlock Holmes #7)
The Valley of Fear (Sherlock Holmes, #7) , Arthur Conan DoyleThe Valley of Fear is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is loosely based on the Molly Maguires and Pinkerton agent James McParland. The story was first published in the Strand Magazine between September 1914 and May 1915. The novel starts with Sherlock Holmes receiving a cipher message from Fred Porlock, a pseudonymous agent of Professor Moriarty. After Porlock sends the message, however, he changes his mind for fear of Moriarty's discovering that he is a traitor. He decides not to send the key to the cipher, but he sends Holmes a note telling of this decision. From the cipher message and the second note, Holmes is able to deduce that it is a book-cipher and that the book used for the encryption is a common book, large (with at least 534 pages), printed in two columns per page, and standardised. An almanac fits these conditions exactly. Holmes tries the latest edition of Whitaker's Almanac, which he had only received a few days earlier, and fails; he then tries the previous edition. With this almanac, Holmes is able to decipher the message as a warning that "some devilry is intended against one "Douglas", a country gentleman residing at Birlstone House. Some minutes later, Inspector Macdonald arrives at Baker Street with news that a Mr. John Douglas of Birlstone Manor House, Birlstone, Sussex, has been murdered. Holmes tells MacDonald of Porlock's warning, suggesting Moriarty's involvement. However, MacDonald does not fully believe that the educated and well-respected Moriarty is a criminal. Holmes, Watson, and MacDonald travel to Birlstone House, an ancient moated manor house, to investigate the crime. ...

Its been an incredibly enjoyable experience, not least because each of the novels performed the charming trick of being much better than I remembered it. I take the orthodox view that its in the short stories where you find the true magic of Sherlock Holmes (particularly The Adventures and The Memoirs), but this seems to have had the odd effect of downgrading the qualities of the novels in my
I liked this, I did. But the first half was just an extended Holmes story (a pretty good one!), while the second half was basically pointless. I don't think this should have been a full length novel. The content of the story just doesn't justify it.The Valley of Fear was published in full in 1915 (after being serialized in The Strand of course), so by this point, Conan Doyle had been writing the character for almost thirty years. (This was also around the time Conan Doyle started getting super
(A-) 81% | Very GoodNotes: Typical vengeance flashback padding a Holmes mystery to novella length, but a decent one, and still a Holmes story.
I am inclined to think said I.I should do so, Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.I believe that I am one of the most long-suffering of mortals; but Ill admit that I was annoyed at the sardonic interruption. Really, Holmes, said I severely, you are a little trying at times.An auspicious start to The Valley of Fear where Holmes is trolling Watson, by this point in their timeline they are already like an old married couple. Looking at Goodreads ranking (by the number of ratings) of Conan Doyles
I got tricked.Except that's probably not what you call it when you commit the hubris of presuming to know what's going on in a Sherlock Holmes story. I didn't even assume, I thought I knew. I was so absolutely certain I knew where that last part of the story went, that I didn't even consider other options; but I was wrong. I unwittingly handed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the honor of throwing my ego around like a ragdoll. Well deserved, I say. On the bright side, nothing keeps you hungry for a
