Dang- I missed another one....that is what I get for not logging in for a long time!
I never cared for this novel (nor The Valley of Fear) as they deviate too much from England. The quintessential part of any Holmes story or novel is the long descriptive narrative of the problem given to Holmes. I like when it has to do with England (or its empire) and not this mess of life w/ the Mormons. I read it happily to get the background on how Watson meets Holmes, but not much else I enjoyed.
