4.0

I really liked this book. It's a collection of short stories that are written by various authors that are either inspired by or are meant to be "deleted scenes" from ACD's original stories. I'm a big fan of the original stories, and some of these did a really good job of making that atmosphere from the originals come alive again. The story I most enjoyed was Neil Gaiman's, an AU story about Holmes' attempts to achieve immortality. I've also read his "A Study in Emerald," and I like his writing style as well as the way he remains true to the original spirit of the books without compromising on creativity. In any case, A Study in Sherlock is worth a read if you loved ACD's work and wished there was more.
