Features short stories about Sherlock Holmes and Watson solving mysteries where a particular piece has been changed, which alters the course of the story and conclusion.
I find myself conflicted after completing this book. I would think a hardcore Sherlock Holmes fan, or should I say Arthur Conan Doyle fan, would not like this book in the least bit. A casual fan of Holmes, or Doyle, would find this book to be interesting and I must say that I enjoyed reading it and looked forward to reading the next story. Then again, I was slightly disturbed by reading Holmes being put into situations that were so, how should I put it, unHolmeslike(?). Ultimately if I read this book before I read the complete Sherlock Holmes anthology, I think I would have enjoyed it much more. The writers who contributed to this anthology are all excellent story tellers, but they would probably be better served leaving well enough alone and concentrating on their own characters. It is kind of like remaking an already classic movie, it might show well standing on its own, but when compared to its predecessor, it just seems to come up short. ( )
i can't really remember when i read this, but i do remember owning it. it was a really mixed bag. some of the stories were just five stars and other ones where like... how did you get in this book? ( )

On that day, the rest of the world celebrated, but I do confess I shed a tear and drank a special toast to my good friend, the late Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
