After Arthur Conan Doyle created the detective, Sherlock Holmes, many writers borrowed him to be the hero of their stories. The anthology offers a selection, old and new.
Distill Holmes down to his and Watson's caricatures and ask over a dozen people to write a new mystery for Holmes fans, then with poor editing and proofreading put them all together in one book. Few of these stories are as intriguing as the originals, and as they all try to be classic Holmes, they are cliche as a collection. Fine if you just can't get enough of the detective, but hardly enough to hook the uninitiated. The editor does go to great lengths to convince the reader that these are "legitimate" tales. ( )
A very large volume of relatively recent pseudo-Holmes stories, by a wide variety of authors. Some are experienced competent mystery authors in their own right, such as H.R. F. Keating and Edward D. Hoch. or fantasy writers sch as Michael Moorcock. A few i have a low opinion of, notably Peter Tremayne. Many others are unfamiliar to me. ( )
I have to admit that Peter Tremayne's story with Holmes as a Galwegian and he got his start in college in Dublin University Trinity College, there may be some bias from the writer there, but it entertained me vastly.
Set of stories that interweave with existing canon and are not too bad, a book to dip in and out of. ( )
