“Pitch-perfect Watsonian narration . . . [An] outstanding collection . . . All impressively add psychological depth to the friendship, plausibly exploring personal dynamics in the wake of traumas such as the loss of Watson’s wife and Holmes’s apparent return from the dead, in a way that will resonate especially with fans of the BBC’s Sherlock.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

For Holmesians to read, then treasure.” —Don Crinklaw, Booklist (starred review)
