 (70 proof) - book reviews
"The Valley of Fear" is constructed exactly like "A Study in Scarlet." It's divided into two parts, the first involves Holmes and Watson and the solving of the crime; the second is a flashback providing the background for the murder.
It's rather pathetic when people consider having to think for themselves "awkward." In "The Valley of Fear," the flashback, involving murderous thugs controlling Pennsylvania coal towns, is much easier to follow, and therefore a whole lot less interesting.
All things considered, "The Valley of Fear" is still a decent book.

Like A Study in Scarlet, The Valley of Fear doesn't merely fill in the motive for the present-day crime: it makes a novel within a novel out of past history.
I'm not a big fan of the Study digression, but I found the story of Birdy Edwards to be quite exciting and enjoyable for its own sake, and I easily suspended my knowledge of history and my pride in my Irish ancestry while I was reading it.
But I certainly understand those who find the Vermissa Valley tale to be a bit off the mark as far as pure Sherlockian enjoyment is concerned.

 The Valley of Fear, by Arthur Conan Doyle (chapter9)
He could talk of the sweet valleys of County Monaghan from which he came, of the lovely, distant island, the low hills and green meadows of which seemed the more beautiful when imagination viewed them from this place of grime and snow.
But apart from this popularity, the fear in which he was held throughout the township, and indeed down the whole thirty miles of the valley and past the mountains on each side of it, was enough in itself to fill his bar; for none could afford to neglect his good will.
Besides those secret powers which it was universally believed that he exercised in so pitiless a fashion, he was a high public official, a municipal councillor, and a commissioner of roads, elected to the office through the votes of the ruffians who in turn expected to receive favours at his hands.

THE VALLEY OF FEAR was written after Conan Doyle killed off Holmes in 1892, but is set before Holmes' disappearance at the Reichenbach Falls.
He also points out the mistakes Arthur Conan Doyle frequently made in his stories, which are often quite amusing (contradicting timelines, Conan Doyles' incomplete understanding of obscure sciencs, etc).
