Anyone tired of my constant praise of Leslie Klinger's works can rest secure in the knowledge that I've polished off everything he has to offer.  Today's update is the last story in the Holmes anthology, so I have nothing else to read & review.  The Valley of Fear was a holmes story I'd never read, nor did I have any knowledge of/background with the Molly Maguires (whom the second half of the story surrounds).  This wasn't my favorite Holmes story, and of the story this one had the least annotations.  But it was still enjoyable and I certainly wish I had more of these to consume.
