Like every other book. This one is one long story only, and as with previous ones, there is a story within a story.
This sub-story was too much for me. Again, nothing to do with Holmes, long, trivial and boring.
I really liked this one. The story consists of two parts. The first part tells a story of a murder of a rich english man that Sherlock Holmes tries to solve. The second part tells the tale of the valley of fear, a story that takes place in the USA a few years earlier.
That moat was worthless
rootin' tootin' face shootin'
assassins can swim.
Holmes helps out some country police when the Lord of the Manor is found dead in mysterious circumstances. Another great Holmes mystery.
