A well-staged performance: The Valley of Fear discussion

The least well-known of Doyle’s four novella-length Holmes stories, join us for this weird and riveting tale of American unions, vanishing jewelry, and Professor Moriarty’s first appearance. The Valley of Fear kicks off a new year for us and for Holmes and Watson.  Published between 1914 and 1915, The Valley of Fear is loosely based on a true story. We discuss Moriarty as a master artist, antisemitic space Jews, whether Doyle is actually any good at writing novellas, and what this story might reveal about how much Watson lies. Spoiler alert: We talk extensively about what happens in "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House."  Find recommended reading, more stories, info about the show and more on our website: https://www.howeverimprobablepodcast.com/listen/the-valley-of-fear https://twitter.com/improbablepod
