The Hundred
Hottest
Sherlockian Writers
Of
The Last Century*

* Based on rough counts of the number of citations in the personal name index to The Universal Sherlock Holmes by Ronald B. DeWaal. Note that this includes occurrences of being written about as well as doing the actual writing, and does not include size, quality, or other merits of written works. Other flaws with the list include at least one actor who snuck on to the list and at least one guy who published a lot of other people's stuff and didn't really write much himself. These errors were pointed out by readers of The Holmes & Watson Report's first publication of the list in March of 1998, but we'll let you root them out for yourself. (It's not just a list, it's a game!) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was not included.
