Superb
Sherlock Holmes pastiches are like deodorants; they can be found everywhere, in all shapes & types, and yet, rarely do they satisfy the customer, once the premises of the shop/market has been left. However, this anthology makes a clean break with that 'traditional' fare and presents a few refreshingly believable stories in an authentic voice. Recommended.

A Sherlock Holmes book by any other name is still a Sherlock Holmes Book
This book contains six Sherlock Holmes short stories. They are all "okay", as I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and enjoyed them simply because of that fact and not because they were well-written stories.

This book contains six Sherlock Holmes short stories. They are all "okay", as I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and enjoyed them simply because of that fact and not because they were well-written stories. If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, yes, it is worth the time and money but if you aren't a fan or are new to the genre I would suggest another title, maybe something by Nicholas Meyer. And if you are looking for a 'different' Sherlock Holmes book I highly suggest "Shadows Over Baker Street". This is an anthology that mixes Sherlock Holmes with the darkness and horror of the stories of H.P. Lovecraft.

Rambling but fun for Sherlockians,

This book and the others from the Thomas three book series are fun for the lovers of Sherlock Holmes. Told by Watson, these are "lost" stories. The writing is a little rambling, but engaging.
