Cherie's Reviews > The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures

Good stories, I liked how the editor tied them together. However, the Sherlock Holmes in these stories was a ghost of Conan Doyle's Sherlock. The depth of Sherlock's character did not appear. Each story could have had a different name for the detective and I would have thought Sherlock was being copied but not quite grasped. What is it about Conan Doyle's writing that works so much better? He never did acknowledge his genius with Sherlock so I doubt even he could answer that question.
