L/R is a much loved guilty pleasure, one which I can hopefully someday get back to if I ever finish the stuff I'm working on now, and stop committing myself to a bajillion projects.

Michael Hardwick is FANTASTIC, as I have just discovered. I began reading The Revenge of The Hound, and both his Holmes and Watson are spot on. A glowing review is in the works for when I finish it. Meyer and Chabon have been my favourites so far. I will definitely look up Prisoner of the Devil, and thank you for the suggestion because I didn't know he'd written any other pastiches besides Revenge of the Hound.
