Storia
Originally named A Tangled Skein, this is the first Sherlock Holmes story. The real strength and the unique quality of the novel lies in the introduction of Holmes and Watson to each other - and those dark early scenes when a corpse is discovered in a derelict house in southeast London. The ultimate crusader against crime and criminals, Holmes' genius is revealed here for the very first time.

Storia
Scelta non casuale questi quattro racconti tratti dalla silloge Il mare color del vino, scrigno dei temi e delle forme più care allo scrittore di Racalmuto. Giacché medesima è la forte, ineludibile passione civile, tesa al disvelarsi della verità, che accomuna Leonardo Sciascia e Leo Gullotta, esemplare testimone e cantore di un narrato godibile, beffardo, sapido, talora grottescamente epico.

Not his best work
Very little of the story is related to Holmes and Watson. Most of the story is about the person Holmes was asked to figure out how he was murdered.

Highly enjoyable.
This book is split into two parts, the first being the investigation by Sherlock Holmes into the murderous events at a Sussex manor and the second part is the history - a story in its own right - of how the events being investigated at the manor came about. Holmes solves the case with three-and-a-half hours of the audiobook remaining and we are then taken back to a town in America set in 'The Valley of Fear' and shown why it is so named. I enjoyed this book but did start to loose a little interest a couple of hours into the historical story, as all the characters are different from the first half of the book and I was getting frustrated as to how it was all going to link up to the investigation. All in all, this is a great book, with the only criticism being that the story of the Valley of Fear went on a little too long. Derek Jacobi is exemplary as usual.

Where's Sherlock
Sherlock is hardly in this book, really disappointing after listening to the previous three, which were all very good. A huge shame.

Brilliant
You know Sherlock Holmes. You've seen adaptations on TV, you know his stories. But, listening/reading the books is just wonderful. By reading, you gain a deeper understanding of Holmes, of Watson, of Victorian England and Derek Jacobi is an amazing narrator. He is perfect for the job. So even though you may be familiar with the stories, have a listen and instead of being preoccupied with 'who done it' (cos you probably know already), enjoy the journey and allow Holmes to lead you there in his own unique way.

Not as good as 'Baskervilles'
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This is a worthy outing for Holmes and Watson. The mystery is interesting and the extended flashback scene is better handled here than in the earlier novels. It does though still feel a bit disjointed, and almost as though Conan Doyle wished he were writing a different book.
If you’ve listened to books by Arthur Conan Doyle before, how does this one compare?
The fourth and last of the Holmes novels, 'The Valley of Fear' is a return to the conventional structure of 'A Study in Scarlet'. In this regard it is a definite improvement - the mystery is compelling, and the narrative is very well written even by the standards of the wider canon. Yet to an extent it also feels like a recapitulation of older material: elements not just of 'A Study in Scarlet' but also 'The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual' and 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' are detectable, as well as a tantalising nod to 'The Final Problem', sadly under-developed.
Which character – as performed by Derek Jacobi – was your favourite?
Holmes and Watson are by far Jacobi's most subtle characterisations in these recordings. He is one of the few actors who does not make Watson sound like an easily-amused idiot.
Could you see The Valley of Fear being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
The structure of this book would not suit television. The flashback might work as a stand-alone.
Any additional comments?
This was a good read, but still stands in the shadow of triumph that is 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'.
