Most excellent anthology of Holmes pastiches.

Marvelous Sherlockian tales written by preeminent authors and impeccably performed. As the author of "Sherlock Holmes: My Life" I can attest with authority and enthusiasm to the true spirit of Holmes portrayed in these tales.

Four Cheers!

I believe any fan that enjoys the exploits of Holmes and Watson will find this the next best thing to Conan Doyle himself! Enjoy!!

Elementary!

Fantastic new stories.
Very enjoyable for any Sherlock Holmes fan.
Well thought out by Master Author's and executed by Master Narrators.
Thank you all.
The Game Is A Foot!!

Very good if you're not too dear about holmes

Let's face it, certain stories in this series are particularly non-canon. And there are even a few that are almost insulting in their cavalier creative lisence with the characters. However, even those stories I've mentioned above aren't without a certain amusement for someone who can take a little ribbing about being a Holmes fanatic. Just remember that not everyone is as reverant as a devoted fan and shouldn't have to be to enjoy spinning these characters into new stories that give us more chances to see them in action. As long as you're prepared to take this series of shorts as just that, a series of short stories and not an attempt to revamp or in any way challenge the Arthur Conan Doyle versions of our heroes, you'll find it, over all, a very satisfying listen.

Fun and interesting

this an excellent collection of short stories that take Sherlock and Watson on some interesting and strange adventures.
