The World's Greatest Detective and his Watson are on the case in The Case of the Felonious Faire, the third book in the 5-minute Sherlock series by Drew Hayes. "When a fiendish fraudster has been fomenting financial falsehoods, who can find the finagler?" That is the question that gets Sherman Holmes and Joel Watson hired to investigate a Renaissance Faire's crooked books. With the initial evidence pointing directly at their client, it will take some creative investigating, and cosplay participation, to prove their client's innocence.

That was a lot of fun. The author sure loves his alliteration! It's peppered throughout the book. Sherman's unique style of speaking really works while "in character" at a Renaissance Faire. I love how vendors and visitors just roll with it assuming it's all part of the fabulous faire fun and not just Sherman being Sherman. It's nice that Watson got to lean into his protector role while being "in character" too.

I listened to the audio book narrated by Scott Aiello. You can tell he's having fun with narrating this series.

That ending has me intrigued. There is a much bigger plot afoot. I'm glad this series is going to be continuing. ( )
