We have two featured authors this month because my first choice, only has 5 books in his main series. But they are unique enough I wanted to feature them.

Holmes on the Range by Steve Hockensmith

Description of first book:
1893 is a tough year in Montana, and any job is a good job. When brothers Big Red and Old Red Amlingmeyer sign on as ranch hands at a secretive ranch, they're not expecting much more than hard work, bad pay, and a few free moments to enjoy their favorite pastime: reading stories about Sherlock Holmes.

When another hand turns up dead, Old Red sees the perfect opportunity to employ his  Holmes-inspired "deducifyin'" skills and sets out to solve the case.  Big Red, like it or not (and mostly he does not), is along for the wild ride in this clever, compelling, and completely one-of-a-kind mystery.


#1 Holmes on the Range
#2 On the Wrong Track
#3 The Black Dove
#4 The Crack in the Lens
#5 World's Greatest Sleuth!

Dear Mr. Holmes: Seven Holmes On The Range Mysteries - Big Red and Old Red in seven short-story adventures!

I thought they looked very interesting which is why I've got the first two. Basically 2 cowboy hands out in the ol west are fans of Sherlock Holmes and using him for inspiration, solve a crime.

Donna | 27 comments I was pleasantly surprised to find Holmes on the Range at the library today. I had planned to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After, as I had both of those on my Kindle, but now I can save those to read next month.
