Reviews"Purists may balk, but this collection of Sherlock Holmes stories by a diverse group of authors and imitators is extremely entertaining. Rather than adhering strictly to Conan Doyle's narrative style, the featured authors write original tales recounted by characters other than Dr. John Watson. ... Most Holmes aficionados will welcome this delightful addition to the ever-growing mythology of their immortal fictional hero." - Booklist
