Publisher's summary

Sherman Holmes has officially settled into his new city, and the World's Greatest Detective Agency has opened its doors. While his put-upon partner, Watson, would be happy to keep the jobs as simple as missing pets, when a worried worker with an outlandish tale of ghosts walks in, there's no stopping Sherman from taking the case.

Now, the new duo must investigate a local "haunted" tourist site where the scares are going off-script and otherworldly interference is suspected. With Sherman lost in the history of the mystery, Watson finds himself needing to adapt quickly to his new job's unique challenges.

Facing booby-trapped halls to navigate, pesky former coworkers popping in without warning, and growing attention from a local criminal element, even an operative of Watson's talents is going to need some help getting through this case alive.

Instead, he has Sherman Holmes.

About the Creator

Drew Hayes is an author from Texas who has written several books and found the gumption to publish a few (so far). He graduated from Texas Tech with a B.A. in English, because evidently he's not familiar with what the term “employable” means. You can read more of his growing work at his website, www.drewhayesnovels.com, send him mail and movie offers at Novelistdrew@gmail.com, or just follow his Twitter: @DrewHayesNovels. Hayes has been called one of the most profound, prolific, and talented authors of his generation, but a table full of drunks will say almost anything when offered a round of free shots. Hayes feels kind of like a D-bag writing about himself in the third person like this. He does appreciate that you're still reading, though. Hayes would like to sit down and have a beer with you. Or a cocktail. He's not here to judge your preferences. Hayes is terrible at being serious, and has no real idea what a snippet biography is meant to convey anyway. Hayes thinks you are awesome just the way you are. That part, he meant. Hayes is off to go high-five random people, because who doesn't love a good high-five? No one, that's who.

So much fun

I love these books! Cant wait till there’s another. They remind me a bit of the Dirk Gently series for their humor. It’s like a cozy mystery but way more action and humor than is typical. The characters are fun and memorable and the reader does a fantastic job of adding to their personalities. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a light but funny and action packed read.

ready & waiting

The writing is excellent, the story is fun, and I love the characters. The narrator “fit,” and was an engaging storyteller. The moment I finished #1, bought and listened to this one, which I enjoyed even more. I would continue binging if I could. I sure hope there will be more to come in this series.

Entertaining and enjoyable

The five minute Sherlock is captivating and funny, couldn’t wait to hear what Sherman would do next.
Never disappointed, it’s quite the fun ride with Sherman and Watson. There’s an unknown case around every corner while sleuthing out the main case. Looking forward to the next book.

Superb!

Straight from the start this fast paced whodunit grabs your attention and runs with it. But never fear, Sherman Holmes and his Watson are on the case!

For Fans of Sherlock Holmes' Pastiche

Not as action-packed as the first book, but still entertaining for fans of Sherlock Holmes' pastiche.

This gives weird a whole new meaning

It was certainly interesting. I enjoyed the story once I realized what was going on. At first this made no sense at all. There must be other books about these 2 characters. l will have to look for more. I liked it once I caught on. What a group of characters. Sherman was weird but great. Watson was etter.

Very good

Narration was perfect. This managed to be light without going into silly. The author works in tiny bits and pieces and hints of secrets and past that made me interested in more. Plus, I like the characters.
