It's Elementary , my dear Readers by Tracy Howard - Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 at 12:56pm I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie recently and really enjoyed it. The movie had a lot more action than I remembered in the novels (and way more fighting!), while still maintaining the brilliant deductive reasoning the master detective was famous for. I started thinking about the many spin offs in the book world that can trace their origins back to Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson. So for your sleuthing pleasure, consider some of the following titles.
