On another Holmes group, I put some pastiches I really like - like you (and others) I look for the original voice, set in Doyle's universe. Here are a few I put on that group
The Adventure of the Old Russian Woman - Ian Charnock A Full Account of Riccoletti and the Club Food - Ian Charnock The Shadow of the Rat - David Stuart Davies The Abernetty Mystery - Paul D. Gilbert The Adventure of the Pawnbroker's Daughter - David Marcum The Case of the Gustafsson Stone - June Thompson The Adventure of the Glass Room - Philip J. Carrahar The Three Favors - Katie Forsythe The Case of the incumbent Invalid - Claire Griffen The Final Toast - Stuart Kaminsky To The Manor Bound - Jane Rubino
Having said that, I just got a copy of one of the latest MX books of new Holmes stories - there are close to 40 of these volumes now - and it was Jane Rubino's "A Touch of the Dramatic" - it takes up where Chas Augustus Milverton left off and it is suspenseful, tragic, and hilarious all at once. I might have to put this at the top of my pastiche list.
Several pastiche writers I like that are consistent and good in addition to Rubino are Tracy Revels, Geri Schear, David Marcum, Hugh Ashton, David Stuart Davies, Denis O. Smith
