Not a book, but if you can get hold of it, you should watch it. I don't think you could get it on DVD, but someone might have a copy to download someplace: Sherlock Holmes: The strange case of Alice Faulkner (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163227/).
This is a TV broadcast of the play done on stage, with Frank Langella playing Holmes. I remember that I loved it when it came out and watched it several times on HBO. It's an interesting take on Holmes - all the more because it was written by someone else while Doyle was alive. Of course it was done with his permission, but it does have an interesting hint of fanfic to it.
