WHAT A BANGER. They had us in the second half, ngl, but YEAH BUDDY. I love when Doyle’s like taking us on a horrifying journey through the annals of America. Doyle ending this on Sherlock beginning to plan how he would fake his own death??? Whew!! Cannot believe my journey through the series is almost over.

I had no idea where this was going as we delved into the history of the valley of fear. I wish there was more time spent connecting Moriarty to the work, but I suppose that’s for another story. Overall, it was a very good book and an exciting read!

The first half is a solid mystery but the second half Doyle goes wandering off in a barely related story. It's similar to A Study In Scarlet, although not quite as bad. The plot's decent, even if the characters are flat and dull (Doyle can't write women to save his life).
