darchildreRecently, my brain has decided that it's tired of listening to my Discworld audiobooks and has rebelled by refusing to go to sleep to them. (It does this every year or so.) Thus I have been forced to find different bedtime listening material and have started revisiting Sherlock Holmes.* I have started with Valley of Fear.
You guys, I think that has become my favorite Holmes novel. How did this happen? Why did this happen? I even really like the extended American flashback, it's ridiculous.
The codebreaking sequence at the beginning is pretty great, though.
*It was either that or Nero Wolfe - those are my general non-Discworld fallbacks. I've tried other things - Lord Peter mysteries, the Harry Potter books - but those three are the most reliable for me.
