Review Quotes
"Admirers of Sherlock Holmes will keenly appreciate the ingenious and masterly way in which the famous detective is handling the intricate problem presented to him in this baffline mystery." - Tottenham and Edmonton Weekly Herald, 1914
"Judging from the opening chapters, which are in themselves extremely engrossing and leave one anxiously awaiting the next instalment, this story bids fair to provide as much thrilling incident and excitement as was enjoyed in the case of the last Sherlock Holmes serial, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." - Woodford and District Advisor, 1914
"It remains to be said that Sir A. Conan Doyle's brain has not lost its integrity in the invention of lively literature. There is no fear that "The Valley of Fear" will not jump at once into a popular success." - Illustrated London News, 1915
"My dear Watson, all good 'Sherlockians' will welcome the new story with enthusiasm... it is all very thrilling and very fine reading." - Pall Mall Gazette, 1915
