Critics Review

“Satisfy your Sherlock cravings with these superb stories.”

“Wildly entertaining and endlessly satisfying, these short stories scratch the detective itch for hardcore fans while offering unexpected twists and distinctive characters.” * Shelf Awareness *
“Introducing their fifth ever more wide-ranging collection, the editors indicate the principal originality of this one: The authors are all “not previously known to be friends of Holmes.” This promise is paid off in spades. The entries that flaunt their cleverness and update or deconstruct Holmes in ingenious ways.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“Just as all of the writers involved have their own takes on Holmes, so will anyone who picks up this book. And anyone fascinated by the interplay of Holmes and Watson - logic and emotion, intuition and science, detection and storytelling, or anything else in these everlasting archetypes - definitely should.” * Los Angeles Times *
“You will be squirming in your seat in a fit of pure delight as you turn each page of this anthology.” * BookReporter *
“A sharp, affectionate, light-footed collection.” * New York Times Book Review [praise for Laurie King and Leslie Klinger’s Holmes series] *
“Laurie R. King and Leslie Klinger continue to breathe new life into Sherlockian tales.” * LitHub [praise for Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger’s Sherlock Holmes series] *
“Satisfy your Sherlock cravings with these superb stories.” * Book Riot [praise for Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger’s Sherlock Holmes series] *
