The alt.sherlock.holmes series is Gini Koch’s take on the Sherlock Holmes tradition, placing the famous detective and his partner into settings far removed from Victorian-era Baker Street. The series launched in 2014 with Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets, an anthology contribution, and continued with original novellas and stories through 2016.

Each entry drops Holmes-style characters into a different context. The Case of the Tattooed Bride and A Study in Starlets move the action to Hollywood and modern settings, while The Power of Media takes on contemporary culture. Koch brings her signature humor and fast pacing to the mysteries, making these stories feel distinct from the more reverent Holmes pastiches.

The series has five entries in total and works well for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes but want to see the concept stretched in unexpected directions. Koch’s background in science fiction and comedy gives these stories a different energy than typical detective fiction.
