Reviews

(Rated 4 out of 5)

This is a nice collection of eleven Sherlock Holmes short stories by authors other than Arthur Conan Doyle. They have been well chosen and, on the whole, manage to capture the atmosphere of the originals.

The book includes an interesting, well researched introduction which outlines how each story came to be written, and why it has been included in this collection.

The selections include "The Adventure of The Sheffield Banker" (thought at one time to be a long lost story by Conan Doyle himelf), and "The Adventure of Arnsworth Castle" which was penned by the creator's son; Adrian Conan Doyle.

In my opinion it's a good read - although the quality of the stories does vary quite a bit.

If you've not read any "Sherlock Holmes" before, my advice is to start with the originals - then get this book afterwards. However, it should be considered an absolute must for any true whose fan chomping-at-the-bit to read more of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
