More than I expected, but less than perfect... - Doctor Lennon -
This was exactly what it sounded like, a book of Sherlock Holmes mysteries written by authors who are not Sir Arthur Conan Doyale. And the stories were good, if not great, but that could be said about the originals too. Some admittably were better than others, and some were at the level of some of the originals.

And it did try to weave the stories into the timeline of events that the original stories put in, and there I find the only real problem I had with it. The editor seems to denouce every single other pastchie written that are not part of his book, labeling them all as "apocryphal" or "surely forgeries". I have no problem with an author claiming his to be a "forgotten Watson original", but if you then go on to denounce every other, it makes you sound arrogant.

But since the editor's attitude is my only real problem, don't let you be warded off by it. Just skip the bit's that are in italics.
