All right, folks. I’ve finally reached the end—the last of the Sherlock Holmes mystery collections! I’m excited to have made my collection complete. I don’t know if I’ll need to go through a re-read of the entire series again, though I definitely have favorite stories I’ll want to revisit. I’ve definitely decided NOT to go through with the Anthony Horowitz adaptations, but I WILL be giving the Mary Russell books a try. And I definitely need to rewatch some Sherlock after this. As always, I include in my full review a list of my favorite stories, and the reasons why.

I’ve read the Horowitz adaptations and some of the Mary Russell books and I think you’ve made the right choice. I don’t think Horowitz quite captures it. But I really liked Mary, in spite of a slight squick factor for the romance.
I prefer the spin off, or modernization of a classic character to the further stories idea anyway. Very few writers can manage to write exactly the same as an original writer, and I’d rather they didn’t, you know? Be inspired, don’t copy, :)
