2.0

Distill Holmes down to his and Watson's caricatures and ask over a dozen people to write a new mystery for Holmes fans, then with poor editing and proofreading put them all together in one book. Few of these stories are as intriguing as the originals, and as they all try to be classic Holmes, they are cliche as a collection. Fine if you just can't get enough of the detective, but hardly enough to hook the uninitiated. The editor does go to great lengths to convince the reader that these are "legitimate" tales.
