The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes by Lyndsay Faye
4.0
Some really good short stories in the style of Conan Doyle, some of them going into those interstitial spaces, during, just before or after a canonical story; other ones dealing with new, intriguing cases. All of them give us the best of these characters: smart investigations, their unwavering friendship, the wonderful glimpses of the Holmes under the mask of impassivity, and even a glimpse of their appreciation of Lestrade. What can I say, I like when Lestrade is recognized a bit :P
One of my favourite ones is the story happening during 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' because I love that it's in Holmes' voice and because I really like to have a reason to justify Holmes staying in London and sending Watson to Dartmoor alone.
I also liked a lot the one happening at the beginning of 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes', Watson dealing with his grief and Lestrade being a friend.
But really, all of them have their own merit. This is a wonderful collection recommended to every fan of Sherlock Holmes.
