These aren’t typical Sherlockian pastiches - the listener won’t find new investigations in the traditional manner. Rather, these stories take the inconsistencies and contradictions to be found in those original 12 canonical adventures and pull them apart, twist them, double back on them, and construct them into something that’s sly and new and thoroughly thought-provoking.
