My favorite continuation of Sherlock Holmes is the series by Laurie R. King. It starts with The Beekeeper's Apprentice. It envisions Holmes as a bored retiree who sets off on new adventures with a brilliant, teenaged American who moves to England after losing both parents. There is some violence, so I wouldn't characterize it as a cozy.
