Dear Suman and other SHians,
JK Rowling could well try writing a Holmes pastiche, and I believe she can if
she sufficiently motivated, but I'm doubtful if there won't be a lingering
whatchamacallit element of magic in it! Imagine Holmes sitting on his usual
chair (mayhaps a wide-eyed Watson on the sofa) doing some "armchair analysis"
while floating a few feet above the crime scene!!! Or another scene...Holmes
telling him, "Let's go, Watson. They've tracked down Moriarty. There is magic
afoot!" (pardon the terrible mixup).

Dear Holmesians and Sri,
Members would recall that I had suggested JK Rowling would be a
excellent choice to pen a SH patische. It seems that hse is writing a
crime novel set in Edinburgh as the following extract from wikipedia
would suggest,
"It has been reported that Rowling is currently working on a crime
novel set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Fellow Scottish author Ian Rankin is
quoted as saying that his wife has seen Rowling writing the novel in
Edinburgh cafés".
I wish she tries her hand at a SH patische!
