"My personal favorite of these stories was "The Note on the Blue Screen" by Mary Fan. This is a highly unusual Sherlock Holmes story. I need to mention that I have never been a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, but contemporary twists on the Sherlock Holmes character can engage my attention. Mary Fan gives us an AI (Artificial Intelligence) named Sherlock who is a detective with a loyal female Watson who repairs the AI when it can't repair itself. I thought the story was clever and original. I also loved the relationship between this Sherlock and Watson. I am an instant fan of Mary Fan, who I've never read before. I will definitely want to read more of her work... The stories that I featured in this review made this anthology worth reading, and the discovery of author Mary Fan made it notable."
