Great will written Sherman Holmes and Watson the greatest detective agency. A woman 🚺 comes into the agency about the problems that the tourist agency she works for is having. Holmes and Watson go to work as guides for the agency and the fun begins. The haunted estate that the agency conducts tours in in is over 100 years old. All kinds of strange events are occurring Sherman uses so I his skills to find the answers. I would highly recommend this two book series and author to fans of Sherlock Holmes and readers of mystery novels 👍🔰. 2023 😀😯😡😮

This ticked some major boxes for that Scooby-Doo loving part of me. I could just see Sherman, Scoob and Shag diving into some strange creation of a sandwhich while Poirot just looks on in disgust after the mystery is solved!Excellent work Drew,Guns Up Red Raider!

Back with Sherman and Watson, but now as proper detectives.  The case is a basic haunted house setting, but with a twist; the house is a mortal trap, crafted by a mind way ahead of his time, and only a mind like Sherman's can unlock it's secrets.  It's very different from the first book, in that the relationship between the two changed a lot after everything they went through.  It's really nice to see them working together, and with Watson having a better understanding of Sherman.  I really liked watching them working together, with a true partnership. It's a very easy book to read, even if the dialogue gets a little heavy, since Sherman has a complicated way of communicating.  It's a simple plot, but still manages to have a few twists.  It's a book that you can't miss.

There are two reasons to keep reading an author’s product. Either you’re in the middle of an arc that you can’t put down; or they’re writing ANOTHER arc that’s got just as much meat/value/awesomeness (pick your adjective). I got into the five minute detective stories when they left audiobook for the written word (I’m old school and like to make my own voices up first). This is the fifth arc that Drew Hayes has created, AND IT’S JUST AS GOOD AS THE OTHER FOUR! So yes, definitely pick it up and cackle at the adventures of Sherman and Watson. And wait with baited breath for the next case… we’ll done Mr. Hayes. We’ll done.

After enjoying the first book, iwas willing to read the second even tho the topic gave me doubts,but the haunted house” lead t o a surprisingly twisty story of intrigue to learn with Sherman and Watson as they continue their interactions. Not yet as twisty as Sherlock Holmes might encounter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the true nemesis made a real appearance in future books. Not just a peek. Not a difficult read, and quite enjoyable.

Great characterizations. Absolutely hilarious throwaway lines practically had me ROTF. Good leadins for longer story arcs. Some pacing issues, but perhaps I was simply impatient.

I hope Drew continues to write these books. Of court, that depends on sales, I guess. So buy the book already 🤣.Holmes and Watson continue there strange adventures in a house built by a paranoid genus. Easily on Sherman's level, but without the 5 minute limit. I would love an architectural plan for that house. And a list of the traps. Too bad that the DEVICE was not revealed at the time. I wonder if Earth would be near paradise or destroyed.

This is an excellent sequel in the 5 minute Sherlock series. Drew proves again to be an excellent storyteller and displays a knack for clever wordplay. As much as it is about the mystery, this sequel continues to establish and expand the relationship between Sherman and Watson, which could be really cheesy, except it’s totally not. This book will have you turning page after page and leave you wanting more of the world’s greatest detective.

This is the second book in Drew Hayes' Sherman Holmes series. The characters in this book are much better developed than in the first book which makes it more entertaining. Like the other Drew Hayes books, this one is light and entertaining.

Another good book from Drew, with interesting and likeable leads and a solid plot hook. Hard to go wrong here, but nothing to keep you coming back for rereads either.
