" Although I'll be shot by Holmes enthusiasts for saying this, I really don't find Moriarty to be an interesting arch-enemy. It may be the choppy way in which most Holmes anthologies are produced. If the anthologies would list stories according to the chronology of the story timeline, as opposed to the publication timeline, it would be harder to miss the little details that carry distinctive plot elements from story to story.

" I took this to be one of Conan Doyle's attempts to write a story using the trappings of Holmes without writing a Holmes story. Valley of Fear is another one of those tales that makes America seem properly frightening and lawless. In any case, without giving too much away, this could easily be two stories, first a typical Holmes short story and second a story about a criminal union-cum-secret society in coal country. I found the prose more fluid than some of the other Holmes stories I read, but the book itself is not unified. "

" ACD's last novel (novella?) isn't as masterful as The Hound of the Baskervilles but it's still classic Doyle. It reminded me a lot of The Sign of Four, exept the Mormons are now replaced with the Scowrers. I'm probably repeating myself from earlier reviews of ACD's novels, but Doyle is a born writer of short fiction and his novels just don't carry the same force, and seem like watered-down/diluted versions of his better stories. That being said, I love Sherlock Holmes. "

" Smilarly to "A Study in Scarlet," the story is actually two stories: First comes the crime-solving with Holmes and Watson, second comes the background story about gangsters in America. While I loved the first part and enjoyed that the case was given more room than one is used to from the short stories, the second part didn't interest me in the least. If I were to average the rating across both parts, I'd probably end up with three stars. However, as one can easily skip the background story and end up with an enjoyable, if shorter, read that way, so I'll give four stars. "

" I felt the detour towards the end (I won't spoil) was overly long, and only seemed to be there to pad out the length. Then again, authors were paid by the word back then, weren't they? ;)Other than that, I though it was great!

" Twist ending I never saw coming! I did find it slightly odd the way that the story was split into the Holmes story and the Douglas story but once I hit the end, it was better. Another amazing story by Doyle. "

" The weakest of the Sherlock Holmes novels. The first half is overly drawn out, and then grafted to what feels like an entirely separate novel that combines the Crime and Western genres, and whose politics are rather dated. "

" Amazing and clever book! I don't know why they do not teach this one is school's rather than the Hound of Baskerville. "

" Not my favorite Sherlock Holmes novel--the plot dragged, the characters took an agonizingly long time to make up their minds, and the whole thing was pretty much just flat-out boring. Did have an interesting twist at the end, though.

" Not what I was expecting, which was two stories - the crime and the victim's history. I didn't care about the history, and the case was wrapped up too quickly. It doesn't help when you figure out "whodunnit" before the end, too. Meh.

" I think someone didn't want to write a whole Sherlock Holmes book and halfway through it becomes a totally different story. Not bad though!

" The murder of a wealthy landowner in an English country manor is traced back to the actions of a Pinkerton detective in a crime-ridden American mining town. This, in my opinion, is one of the best of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
