What would the Great Detective be like if Sherlock Holmes was a woman?
That’s the question answered in Sherlock is a Girl’s Name, an anthology imagining Sherlock Holmes as female, in tall tales that follow the great detective across time and even space.
The eleven stories in this collection, selected by long-time Sherlockian editors Narrelle M. Harris and AtlinMerrick, imagine Holmes in deep space, 1990s Russia, Victorian London, contemporary USA, worlds of magic and more.
Holmes’ many Watsons include ghosts, robots, a young boy who doesn’t speak, a teenage tuba player, a stranger on a plane – and that’s just to start. In each story Holmes and her Watson do what they do best: solve crimes and have adventures!
Anthology authors include Tansy Rayner Roberts, Eugen Bacon, Sarah Tollok, Verity Burns, Dannye Chase, Kenzie Lappin, JD Cadmon, Millie Billingsworth, Stacy Lawhorne, Karen J Carlisle, Katya de Becerra, Narrelle M Harris, and Atlin Merrick.
