When there is going to appear a new novel of the all known Sherlock Holmes, a lot of questions are raised. The Conan Doyle estate has chosen a pack of writers to write a new Holmes novel. So Holmes is not dead. The new novel will be released this September (2011). But what mysteries should he tackle? What new cases do we need Sherlock Holmes to solve? The story is supposed to become ‘a first-rate mystery for a modern audience while remaining absolutely true to the spirit of the original.’

A new novel in the Sherlock Holmes series: I am not so sure whether that will be a success. do not think that a newly written modern novel can ever be as good as the original stories. The style of Arthur Conan Doyle, the author and creator of Holmes, cannot be imitated or copied with the same result. I even think it is arrogant to think that you can Holmes let live on. His creator is dead and Holmes only lives in his stories.
