The public outcry when Conan Doyle had Holmes killed was massive and perhaps unexpected. He must have had constant requests to bring Holmes back during the near decade he let Holmes lay. He wrote a few homages to Holmes during that time then he even published 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' that was told in the past tense, but none of it succeeded in appeasing the public. He reluctantly succumbed to the pressure and wrote an additional 32 short stories and a novel with Sherlock Holmes as the main character, but it was apparent that Conan Doyle's heart was not completely into the later stories.
