In the Company of Sherlock Holmes: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon by Leslie S. Klinger, Laurie R. King
3.0
Once again, thank you to Edelweiss (National Association of Independent Publishers Representatives) and Avon Books for allowing me to read this e-book. I am fortunate that I was able to read this book before it was published.
I have not read the first volume of stories that King and Klinger put together, but I will go looking for it now. I had a lot of fun reading these stories, especially the ones by Sara Pretsky, John Lescourt and Michael Dirda.
I know that for some people, Sherlock Holmes should not be messed with. There are the stories by Doyle and all the rest are sacrilege. However, I have loved King's Sherlock and Mary Russell. And that is my major problem with this book. Mary Russell does not appear. Otherwise the collection is wonderful.
If you like short stories and you don't mind seeing Sherlock Holmes through new eyes, I recommend this collection to you. You may not like every story, but I am confident that you will spend some pleasant hours with this book.
