Sherlock Holmes is my favorite literary character, a timeless detective whose sharp logic, eccentric brilliance, and enduring mysteries keep me returning to classic mystery fiction. I was thrilled to discover that many contemporary and historical authors have written further Sherlock Holmes adventures, expanding the canon with pastiches, retellings, and new mystery novels inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle. Exploring these Sherlock Holmes books and adaptations has become a joy of mine, proving that great detective characters never fade—they evolve.
There are many pastiches (an artistic work that imitates the style of other works, often combining elements from different sources into a new whole, acting as homage and not as mockery), examples include Bonnie MacBird, Guy Adams, James Lovegrove, and others. I did not include them in this list.
Here is the list that I have found, roughly in order:
