The Black Dove Audiobook

" I listened to this one in the car and it was fantastic. A really fun mystery. I loved Big Red and Old Red - I thought the characterization was really well done. And whoever was reading was great - it definitely added to my enjoyment. I'll definitely be checking out the others in this series. "

" I am only a few chapters into this book and I am loving it.. The description and storytelling are great. "

" Killer find. I'm reading anything this guy writes. I started here, in the middle of a series, but the book stood alone just fine. Uniquely humorous. "

" The story telling is still brisk and funny. The characters real and engaging. But again with the swearing! Is there really more of it or I am becoming more sensitive? "

" Dusty and Lefty meets Watson and Holmes! "

" This one is a bit more serious than the first 2. I still enjoyed it, just a different direction I think. "

" This wasn't as good as the rest of the series, possibly b/c the cowboys were taken out of their element and forced to solve a mystery in San Francisco's Chinatown, which was an awkward setting. At least I didn't find all the culture clashes as amusing as the other books' scenarios. "

" Very well done overall but a little dark toward the end. I enjoyed the humor. Excellent dialog and characterization. I really appreciate good writing! "

" August - Listening to this and so far it is really cute. I wouldn't have picked it up myself but I'm glad book club is reading it! Loved it! Mystery, humor, good pace. I'd like to go back and read the first two but I'm already looking forward to the next one! "

" Love the series. Great humor and characters. For a while you feel like the story isn't going anywhere, but you find out something is causing Old Red to be off his game. Big Red is a great narrator, but Old Red is the one your waiting to discover the next clue. On to the next one... "

" Love this series set in the 1800s in western US featuring two cowpoke brothers who are attempting to be detectives in the Sherlock Holmes tradition. "

" Different type of book than I normally read. About 2 brothers in the old West, who fancy themselves Sherlock Holmes types. Pure fun. "

" I love the brothers Amlingmeyer, their witty, often earthy dialogue, and their love of deducifying a la Sherlock Holmes. Add the wonderful Diana Corvus to the mix and it gets even better. Very glad I gave this series a try, it's become a favorite! "

" Very Good; Continuing characters: Amlingmeyer brothers; Chinatown in San Francisco is the scene as Holmes wanna bes try to discover the secret of the Black Dove "

" Cute cowboy detective mystery! "

" I'm reading this series out of order, but that didn't impact my ability to follow the characters, Old and Big Red, as they took on Chinatown. It was still a good book, lovingly taking all the Holmesian adoration in stride. I will go back to earlier books and look for the next! "

" Love this series. Combines mystery and the Old West, two of my likes. "

" Charming and great fun! This is one of the most enjoyable mystery series around. I can't wait for more. "

" Not quite as good as the first two, but stilll a lot of fun. "

" Old Red and Big Red go to San Francisco's China Town. Western Holmesian deducifying at its finest. Hokey and fun at the same time. I will probably read all in the series "

" A harmless, quick read. A decent book to give your mind a break between heavier reads. "

" Love this series set in the 1800s in western US featuring two cowpoke brothers who are attempting to be detectives in the Sherlock Holmes tradition. "

" Great references for Sherlock Holmes fans. Humorous writing. "

" This was interesting. I love reading about San Francisco at the turn of the century...that is the 19th to the 20th century. <br/><br/>The old cow punchers find themselves in San Francisco, caught up with the Tongs, black market wives and sloppy Pinkertons. "

" I am only a few chapters into this book and I am loving it.. The description and storytelling are great. "

" The Black Dove: A Holmes on the Range Mystery (Holmes on the Range Mysteries) by Steve Hockensmith (2008) "

" Steve's such a good guy and I enjoy his books. This one especially since Bob is acknowledged in it. "

" Very funny narration, interesting characters, engaging mystery and some interesting details. While somewhat formulaic, I will likely read additional books in this series at some point. "

" I'm reading this series out of order, but that didn't impact my ability to follow the characters, Old and Big Red, as they took on Chinatown. It was still a good book, lovingly taking all the Holmesian adoration in stride. I will go back to earlier books and look for the next! "
