---------

Sherlock Holmes and Watson investigate a murder in a country mansion, a man shot in the face with a sawn off shotgun. Things quickly prove not to be as they seem. But what does the murder have to do with the Valley of Fear...

It is a good mystery based around the murder of the owner of a mansion which is surrounded by a moat. The murderer's escape route seems to be clear, but how did he get into the mansion when the draw bridge was up.

There are many more puzzles to be solved. Of course, as always, the police detectives quickly come to the obvious conclusions, whilst Holmes thinks laterally until he arrives at the truth. The clues are scattered liberally throughout the text for the pleasure of the reader.

The first part abruptly leads to the second part of the book.

The second story is about "the scourers" in a mining community in North America. They are a goup of men who terrorise the Valley of Fear using their Freemasons' Lodge as their cover and meeting place. A violent and terrible death is on the cards for anyone who crosses them or who tries to bring them to justice. This is an exciting and action-packed tale.

What has this got to do with the murder which occurred in the opening chapter?

Well, you know that there is some connection, but the layers are peeled off slowly, and the final knots are not tied until towards the end of the book.

A nice read from the master.

Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
