I was a very serious Holmesian for awhile, member of the Goose Club of the Alpha Inn and a correspondent with the editor of the Baker Street Journal.

My favorite will always be The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Have you read Conan Doyle's other works, specifically his historical novels? I think you would really like The White Company and Sir Nigel - sagas of an English mercenary company in the 14th century French wars. He also did a couple of hysterically funny first person accounts of the Napoleonic Wars by an impossibly vain French brigadier of Hussars . . . The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard - and a couple of oddball novels about Monmouth's Rising (Micah Clarke) and boxing in the days of the Regency (Rodney Stone). I think I have read everything Conan Doyle ever wrote (except for his abominable books on spiritualism.)

As I posted earlier to long cut, if you like that genre, and haven't read them already, be sure to read the classics by Wilke Collins: Moonstone, Woman in White, No Name...

I promise, you will love them. : )

One of the novels I outlined and churned out a couple of sample chapters for was a Holmes paen; postulating a German Sherlock Holmes, with a bit of Mycroft and Moriarity in him, but who let slip that he was a great fan of Sir Arthur, as well as a couple of other authors, German and English, of the Victorian period.
