“I tend to avoid Sherlock books written by other authors because I
usually find myself flinging the book away with disgust. This
collection is nothing like that. The fact that it has one of the
most faithful Sherlock Holmes stories I've ever read is amazing.
The fact that it has 14 faithful Holmes stories is
astonishing.”
—Geek Twin
“The other tales in “Encounters of Sherlock Holmes” were well told
and their authors did a magnificent job of imitating Doyle’s style
and idiom. As a fan of Doyle and a close reader of the original
short stories, I could see one finding difficulty in distinguishing
one of the other stories from the canon, a testament to the
authors’ craft.”

“I enjoyed every minute of it and give Encounters of Sherlock
Holmes 4 1/2 stars out of 5.”
—Gnostalgia
“Mann’s collection, and its contributing authors take the reader as
close to the workings of Holmes’ mind as you can without actually
being him.”
—IHO Geek
“If you’re a Sherlockian, you’ll want to add it to your
collection.”
