A Study in Sherlock: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon by Leslie S. Klinger, Laurie R. King
4.0
A delightful collection of short Sherlock Holmes stories. In some cases, the stories are VERY short, but the majority of tales in this collection are at least a good five minute read. I enjoyed how each author attempted to show what Holmes was in their mind.
Top three in no particular order:
1) Startling Events in the Electrified City - Holmes and Watson go to America to help President McKinley with an unusual request.
2) The Imitator - two soldiers cope with their post-WWI scars (emotional and otherwise) and solve a case for a friend.
3) The Men With the Twisted Lips - Why was Neville St. Clair's wife near that "vile alley" where she looked up to find her husband in The Man With The Twisted Lip? Turns out, the owners of London's opium den were trying to send a message...
Easy to pick up and put down and no real clunker in the bunch.
