I thought it was OK. I had just read Lyn Mc Conchie's "Sherlock Holmes: Repeat Business" and 2 of her stories were in this. Along with 2 by Magda Jozsa: "The Dentist" and "Bad Habits" they were the best of the book.Several stories I really did not like, but that's a matter of personal taste and other readers are free to have their own likes and dislikes. The writing and ability to capture the "voices" of Holmes and Watson were uneven, with some authors going off on their own distinctly different directions. I don't want to say more and give things away. That's the reason for the three stars.  Taken as a whole work, I have read better, and worse, too-ones I really hated, but all in all, it was relatively inexpensive and worth the price for the ones that I did like. You'll just have to take a chance and make up you own mind.I don't know if Magda Joza has more Sherlock Holmes stories, I hope so. I can recommend Lyn McConchie.
