I love the Sherlock Holmes / Mary Russell series, by Laurie R. King. Mary Russell is a teenaged girl that Holmes meets in his bee-keeping retirement in the years before WWI. He then trains her in his "methods".

Another great book is Kareem Abdul-Jabar's Mycroft Holmes, about Sherlock's smarter older brother during his years just out of Cambridge. There's a new one, Mycroft and Sherlock, but I haven't read it yet.
