Welcome to a new-look SHERLOCK. New size and a fresher design. We hope you approve. While the look is new, the focus of the magazine remains the same: to keep you informed and entertained by the best of Sherlock Holmes and Crime Fiction. 

I am delighted that for our first pieces of fiction in the new-look SHERLOCK we have a new and exclusive Holmes story from the douyen oif pastiche writers, June Thomspon. Many fans will know of Junes’ work from her five pastiche collections as well and her award-winning biography of Holmes and Watson.
