The Beast of Blackslope: The Sherlock Files #2 Audiobook

" Aw. It's just a good old-fashioned kid detective yarn. Inoffensive and fun. An ample use of red herrings but with enough of a kick to keep things interesting. "

" This was a reasonably good book. The plot was interesting and straight forward. "

" Not as good as the first one... they solve the current day mystery, but the solution to Holmes' cold case feels like an afterthought - and a rushed one at that. "

" I love this series and rate it 5 stars because it is geared towards older children, not adults, and I think I really would have loved it even more if I was around 10 years old or so. "

" I liked this book even better than its predecesor. I hope for more in the series. "

" This is book 2 after the 100 year old secret. Good, quick read. Appropriate for grade schoolers. "

" Two children take up a mystery that Sherlock Holmes was unable to solve and follow the clues to solve it. "

" When Xena and Xander discover that their ancestor, Sherlock Holmes, had investigated a horrible beast in Blackslope, their vacation in a quiet village becomes spooky. It appears the monster has returned after a hundred years and the two young investigators want to find the truth. "

" I really like this series, though the mystery didn't necessarily get "solved" in the same way it did in the first book. "

" Listening in the car..almost done "

" I'm a big fan of Sherlock, and I enjoy a good mystery story.. but this one didn't impress me. I got this book as a gift from a friend and it was an easy read, but couldn't wait for it to be over. "

" This book reminded me of Scooby-Doo episodes. Plus I felt the actual "solving" of Sherlock Holmes' cold case was a bit of a cop-out. Reading the second in the series does make me want to pick up my copy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and read the real thing. "

" Just silly. Cute story fast read "

" It was a fairly predictable mystery, and it had too much telling and not enough showing, but it held my interest enough to finish the book. That must mean something.... "
