A decent collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches with the stand out stories being "The Doctor's Case" by Stephen King, which sees Holmes' faithful companion solve a locked-room mystery before the famous detective and "The Curious Computer" by Peter Lovesey, which brings Holmes into the computer age. But my favourite was the gloriously tongue-in-cheek one-act play "Dr. and Mrs. Watson at Home" by Loren D. Estleman, in which Mrs Watson makes it plain that all is not sweetness and light in the Watson household, with a marvellous sting-in-the-tail which involves "The Napoleon Of Crime" himself!!!

Enjoyed the Arthur Conan Doyle like stories. There were lots of references and tidbits from the original stories. Each author crafted an original story. One of my favorite parts were with each story was a picture from the Strand which had published Doyle’s original stories.
