Supper SleuthsThere is a rare mystery lover who has not read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. And for the few readers who have not, the stories have been immortalized on both the movie and the television screens with brilliant and whimsical adaptations. Sherlock Holmes may be the most “borrowed” character in mystery literature—the list of authors who reinvent, parody or pay homage to him continues to grow and is reflected in this list of authors and titles.
The following is a list of titles by Arthur Conan Doyle, then other authors. Whenever possible, the series is in order of publication date. If time permits, read one original Sherlock Holmes and compare it to another author on the list. Please come prepared to discuss your impressions of them with the group.
Thank you, once again, to Beebe Reference Librarian Beth Radcliffe for her thorough research on this list.
