Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

The Valley of Fear to explore
I am not a regular reader of Sherlock Holmes,
but I should be, especially since I love the character and it's always a fun read. Be that as it may, from time to time, I read or reread
his stories. There was one book I had always wanted to get my hands on:
The Valley of Fear,
so far the only cannonical Holmes novel I haven't read yet (for the short stories, that's a diffeent matter). And I
couldn't find it anywhere! Well, thanks to my local bookshop, this is no
longer a problem: they ordered it for me and I now am the happy owner of
this (maybe lesser known?) classic. I know close to nothing about the
plot, only that Professor Moriarty
is featured in it. And that's enough to make it a worthy read, the
Napoleon of crime being rather elusive in the original canon. And because I have a bit of an obsession for Moriarty. Anyway, I am reading something else now, but The Valley of Fear is the next crime fiction title I will explore.
I'm sure I must have read "The Valley of Fear" but I don't remember a thing about it.
