Great list, but Starrett's The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes is nonfiction if I remember correctly, not a pastiche ...

Unfortunately, I must insist that "The Private Life OIf Sherlock Holmes" IS a pastiche, or, at the very least, it is Sherlockian fiction.

The 1966 Ellery Queen & P.W. Fairman novel, A STUDY IN TERROR (Lancet Books), was overlooked; it remains an interesting effort, and far more sensitive to pre-1914 Victorian English than other efforts. I am especially pleased to see Mr Chabon's THE FINAL SOLUTION listed, as it is a formidable, under-estimated study, elegantly organised.

Shalom & Erev tov, Susanna...yes, I have a copy of it. It is far better than the other 'ripper' novels I have read with Mr Holmes as a key figure, with the exception of MURDER BY DECREE's script (which has never been published), and the work of Michael Dibdin (1978) and Lyndsay Faye (2009). Interestingly enough, ACD's daughter suspected her father knew the identity of the 'ripper', but he (even with his children) kept silent -- the inference being ACD's fear of a pogrom in the East End against immigrant Jews from Eastern Europe, as she suspected one of the murder victims was killed by a Jewish immigrant. I have always thought there was more than one killer...and that it is a pity Mr Holmes was never called into service...or, perhaps, he did?

Phillip, you're confusing Vincent Starrett's book "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" which is (mostly) non-fiction, with Michael's Hardwick's novelization of Billy Wilder's film of the same name. The latter is indeed a pastiche, but Starrett's is a collection of essays.

I'm hoping Goodreads will at some point add my own latest sherlock - titled Sherlock Holmes And The Mystery of Einstein's Daughter.
I based it on a completely true story about Einstein during his student days in Berne, and it remains one of the unsolved mysteries of the 20th Century. I am hoping that as a result of my novel an international forensic team will travel down to Serbia to see if the infant daughter's remains can be located, after 111 years.

Understood! Best to all, Tim Symonds. Ps. I'm starting on my fourth Sherlock Holmes novel, this time located in Stamboul in 1906, when the mighty Ottoman Empire was breaking apart, with immense implications for the British Empire...

Several books are listed twice:

The Seven Per Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyers
The Giant Rat of Sumatra by Richard Boyer
Night Watch by Steven Kendrick
The Ice Palace Murders by Larry Millett
The Disappearance of SH by Larry Millett

And the Will Thomas novel, while very good, is not a Holmes novel.

I have just about completed my fourth Sherlock Holmes novel which I'm titling Sherlock Holmes And The Sword of Osman. Set in 'Stamboul' in 1906, Holmes and Watson have to save the Sultan from overthrow in the interests of England's own Empire.
As with my previous novels such as Sherlock Holmes And the Mystery of Einstein's Daughter the cover will be by Bob Gibson.

Just wondering, have any one of you read Sherlock Holmes and the Chinese Junk Affair?

So far that is my first Holmes pastiche and I have to say that I quite enjoyed it, myself personally.

It is quite an obscure title but I was curious if any of you came across it before.

On this list? No; listopias don't work that way, and are not sortable. The books with the most points (generally from getting the most votes, or the highest votes from the most people), and a lot depends on who is voting on the list. Though the latter is probably not as much an issue when a list has over 400 voters, as this one does.

However, you can see the average rating under the author's name, with each book, and weed out anything under a four. (You might also want to take into consideration how many people have read and rated the book in question.)

If you're looking for "as similar as possible to the canon" - I would stay away from the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes stories (the first of them is second on this list) - they are enormous fun, but the setup is "The "retired" Sherlock Holmes takes an assistant - a 15-year-old girl." I suspect they would not be your cup of tea.

#37 The Hound of the Baskervilles and #56 A Study in Scarlet are originals by Conan Doyle, not pastiches.

Sara Paretsky's story collection Love & Other Crimes (William Morrow, 2020) includes a Sherlock Holmes story.
