This was another book my daughter wanted me to read. It was unusual, since it takes "stray" sentences from Sherlock stories and turns them into full events. There are twelve stories in the book, with half being written by both authors, and the other six being written solely by Doyle. Adrian is Arthur Conan Doyle's son.
Each story was easy to read, and you could've told me they were written by Arthur, and I would've believed you. They were clever and fit into the world of Sherlock Holmes really well.
Adrian himself was a bit of a character. He was a race car driver, big game hunter and writer. He was even granted his own coat of arms! From the sounds of it, he was interested in keeping his father's image intact after Arthur's death, so it's no wonder he was interested in expanding Sherlock's lore.
If you like Sherlock, I think these are worth checking out. You can read one of them if you have some time, and they aren't connected. I appreciated that they added the reference to the original sentence at the end, so I knew what inspired the story. Great imagination! Good Book!
