So I have to say: Ben Nevis moults becoming a really good ??? - author. After initially really quite tepid stories he ends up by "valley of fear" with "toxic by email" another direct hit. Especially the character of Dick Perry is an excellent idea. A real competitor to have the three ??? been missing. Just a pity that after the resolution of the case a reunion with him is almost impossible. Two criticisms I have, however, still: the tearful voice of Mrs. Wood wirklt but rather contrived and as the three detectives at the end storm on the beach, everything goes so fast that you no longer know what is now past, especially in the 30 seconds to happen.
