adventurous challenging mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I read all the Sherlock Holmes short stories last year, and novels this year. Valley of Fear was the only novel I was completely unfamiliar with. Like other ACD novels, suffers from pacing, and randomly switches POV midway through. Not recommended (stick to the short stories; much better)
