There have been many Holmes books since Doyle's death. I have read several. Someone is always taking a shot.

I would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend the BBC's radio productions of the Sherlock Holmes canon starring Clive Merrison. Most enjoyable!

Carr teams Holmes up with his sidekick Dr James Watson in his book that has the duo dealing with the spectre of ghosts and spirits. Holmes goes solo in the other new entries.

That should be Dr. John H. Watson.

Cullin, 37, said he became interested in Holmes when as a boy he had access to a trove of books belonging to a collector living nearby in his hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Sounds like the renown collector of everything Sherlockian, the late John Bennet Shaw.

I liked 'Sherlock Holmes's War of The Worlds' by Manly and Wade Wellman.

It's 30 years old, so "new" Sherlock Holmes stories aren't exactly new...
