Review: Still looking for my Holmes fix

I read the Sherlock Holmes collection 40 years ago and have reread the short stories several times to scratch my itch for Holmes because I enjoy the genre of the detective noticing things others don't and making unusual connections between seemingly unrelated events to solve a mystery. I continually search for a quick Holmes fix among other writers but this collection did not fill the bill, in fact, I am not convinced they ever read Sherlock Holmes. I'll keep looking but for now I'll stick to Doyle and the best pastiche of Holmes ever written - Solar Pons by August Derleth.
