The Valley of Fear

By: Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrated by: Derek Jacobi

The mystery begins with a coded warning of imminent danger, drawing the illustrious Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr Watson to a secluded country home. A trail of bewildering clues, including raincoats, dumbbells, and a missing wedding ring, leads to sleuthing in the finest Holmesian tradition - with a gripping back story of a cult that terrorized a valley in the American West.(P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Excellent performance!

A superb reading of a great classic. Heartily recommended to Holmes fans and newbies alike!

Derek Jacobi - THE BEST!

This was an interesting story by Doyle but as another reviewer pointed out, not much of Sherlock or Watson here. However, Mr. Jacobi’s reading is so superlative even a bad story can be great. I enjoyed this thoroughly and highly recommend!

As always full of surprises!

Excellent characters, twists and turns. Never disappointed when it comes to Holmes and Watson. The age it was written in doesn’t matter. I encourage young readers to try these old stories to get an idea of how things were before the age of technology.

One of My Favorites

This is an excellent story written to Victorian Literary Standards. I was glad to have an actual reading copy to make sure I correctly understood certain words. Having said that, the narrative performance was excellent. This is one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories.

An epic story with twists and turns you could never see coming

once you start listening, you do not want to stop. Though the story can seem a bit slow in the beginning and also obvious, it is a must listen story! As well as all the other Sherlock Holmes books.
