The Small World of 221B is a suitably weird story that I found myself enjoying a lot more than I expected.
The Final Conjuration makes no attempt to re-imagine Holmes, preferring to plonk him unaltered into a high fantasy setting, to brilliant effect.

A Woman's Place was absolutely brilliant -- a near-future Holmes that finally explains why Mrs Hudson puts up with him.
A Study in Scarborough didn't really work for me.

The Lantern Men.
That was dark. If Edgar Allan Poe had written Sherlock Holmes... And decided to set it in Australia.

The Rich Man's Hand was too much of a supernatural story to really fit with Sherlock Holmes.

The Enlightenment era Holmes in Black Alice was superb. This felt like a near-perfect setting for the great detective and I would love to see more like this.
The 1970s Holmes in The Adventure of the Speckled Bandana was a lot of fun, as much for the hints at previous adventures as for the story itself.

First story: A Scandal in Hobohemia
Interesting. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it, mainly because it feels more like a first chapter than a short story.
