Before the days of the internet, fanfiction was published in magazines and books (if the source works were now public domain). I discovered these published Holmes fanfics on the bargain table at Barnes and Noble and this one at least has proved to be enjoyable. Mainly because I imagined Benedict Cumberbatch and the late Robin Williams teaming up.
There's nothing really exceptional about the story or characters--though perhaps a history fan from that age would appreciate some nuances. Still, it was a pleasant work to sit on the porch and unwind with. An easy (and short) book to pick up and put down at leisure (while juggling other books) without feeling like you missed something important in the plot.
