Holmes On the Range Mystery

review 1: A seriously goofy mystery. Otto and Gustave, the Holmes on the Range, are invited to the Columbian Exposition to compete in the World's Greatest Sleuth competition in honor of Sherlock Holmes's death. These two cowboys aren't good riddle solvers, but sure know how to hunt a clue down. You'll laugh as you read. I listened to the audiobook and it took a little while to get used to the ScoobyDoo-like narrator, but eventually, it fit the tongue and cheek narrative quite well.
review 2: Old Red idolizes Sherlock Holmes. The only trouble is he can't read so his brother Big Red has to read the stories to him. They have become detectives and have now been invited to the Worlds Fair in Chicago. They travel there and are confronted by several people they know from the pa... morest...Pinkerton of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the Crowes, etc. A body ends up in a vat of Cheddar. The brothers solve the mystery. The description of the White City and the Fair are very accurate accounts of the Fair. less
