A review by swirls
In the Company of Sherlock Holmes by Laurie R. King
3.0
A hit or miss collection, but an overall fun read. The Dunkirk story is one of the most memorable stories in the collection, but I'm really not sure how "Holmesian" it is - the old man could have just have easily been anyone else. But it was still a fairly gripping story.
The book is probably most remarkable for the lawsuit it inspired - that Klinger won. It's a pleasure to see the patent trolls of the literary world defeated. Unfortunately, the grasping, pathetic Doyle estate continues to sue creators of every Holmes pastiche, citing every petty reason imaginable.
