A Study in Sherlock: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon by Leslie S. Klinger, Laurie R. King
4.0
I enjoyed many of the tales written, though some sparked my interest more than others, and the graphic novel left me completely cold. I found that if the stories were too similar I had to read another book in between to avoid confusion and to leave each installment feeling fresh.
One of my favorite stories, As to "An Exact Knowledge of London", was written by Tony Broadbent. This story opens with a man needing a cab wanting to visit the sites famous from Sherlock's adventures. The taxi driver, who was observant to an uncanny degree, takes the ex-RAMC around all of London ending on Baker Street. And this is when the real twists in the plot are revealed.
In The Case of Death and Honey Neil Gaiman provides the story that explains Holmes longevity. I also enjoyed knowing why Holmes had such a fascination with bees after solving so many other mysteries. The world of bees is definitely a mystery worth exploring.
Some installments deserve more stars than others.
