Yes, there were detective stories before Doyle, but after him, I think that all detective writers bore him in mind.

The last three Holmes stories have just come into public domain in the US, as has Christie’s “Big Four”.
In my opinion, none of them are great.
The Big Four is more like James Bond than Poirot - especially with the villains having a secret underground base in the mountains.
The Veiled Lodger - there is no solving of the mystery. Holmes recalls the past and the lady fills in some gaps.
