4-6Sherlock Files series.
Set in modern-day London, this book follows American transplants Xena and Xander Holmes, great-great-great-grandchildren of Sherlock. The kids hunt for a missing painting that Sherlock himself couldn't find and meet Andrew Watson (related, of course, to that Watson). Springer's Enola Holmes stories and Peacock's Boy Sherlock novels are stronger, but this new series will attract fans of lighter mysteries.
