A review by jenn_geeks_out
The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
3.0
The novels aren't my favorite. The ratio of backstory to mystery is skewed the wrong direction for my liking, and unlike modern mysteries, the backstory comes after the solution to the mystery, so the backstory doesn't make the payoff of the solution any richer. It's just longer.
The part of this story that I liked best was Stephen Fry's introduction to the audiobook, which explained the historical context of the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania that fascinated England at the time.
