Summary
A brand-new anthology of stories inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle canon.
In this follow-up to the acclaimed In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, expert Sherlockians Laurie King and Leslie Klinger put forth the question: What happens when great writers/creators who are not known as Sherlock Holmes devotees admit to being inspired by Conan Doyle stories? While some are highly regarded mystery writers, others are best known for their work in the fields of fantasy or science fiction. All of these talented authors, however, share a great admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle and his greatest creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
To the editors' great delight, these stories go in many directions. Some explore the spirit of Holmes himself; others tell of detectives inspired by Holmes' adventures or methods. A young boy becomes a detective; a young woman sharpens her investigative skills; an aging actress and a housemaid each find that they have unexpected talents. Other characters from the Holmes stories are explored, and even non-Holmesian tales by Conan Doyle are echoed. The variations are endless!
Although not a formal collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories, some entries do fit that mold, while others were inspired by the Conan Doyle canon. The results are breathtaking, for fans of Holmes and Watson as well as listeners new to Doyle's writing.
Full cast of narrators includes Marguerite Gavin, Mirron Willis, Ralph Lister, Saskia Maarleveld, Sarah Nichols, Tim Gerard Reynolds, and Traber Burns.

some good some bad
I have to say that I mostly enjoyed this book but at least 2 stories were so bad that I either zoned out or had to skip all together

Unexpectedly Excellent
Bought with trepidation. But each story was a delight which is difficult to achieve in anthologies. Each was recognisably related to the canon. The various narrators also got the tone exactly right. Very happy to recommend to anyone who enjoys detective stories - lover of Sherlock or not.

some great ! some poor !
Shame I can't rate every story . Some were exceptional but some in modern setting used gimmick rather than substance .
performance was high standard.

Shockingly poor
Absolutely the worst interpretation of the Holmes legacy. Stick to the original scripts - very poor

Vain
Absolutely the worst form of literature I have had the misfortune to be subjected too, obviously a personal view, and that view is get a job that does not involve creativity.
