Outstanding! A well written and riveting tale of fictional Molly Maguires, with Holmes thrown in for a wonderful bonus. A must- read!
The best I have read of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Valley of Fear
I enjoy this Sherlock Holmes' mystery very much. As usual I am a" Dr. Watson" is keeping up with his deductive reasoning. The Birdy Edwards character was easier to deduce. I was a bit confused/disappointed at the end. Given that Holmes was aware of Moriarty's involvement early on could he have or did he intervene to change the outcome at the end? Was it " Dear Mr. Holmes! Dear me!"?
