Description
In 1893, the Amlingmeyer boys venture forth from the west in response to a summons from Otto's ("Big Red") publisher-they are to come to Chicago immediately, to the World's Columbian Exposition, and compete with some of the most famous detectives in the world. Set to coincide with the closing days of the first World's Fair and the publication of the story revealing the death of Sherlock Holmes, Gustav ("Old Red") will be competing for the title of World's Greatest Sleuth! Hating train travel and cities, the real draw is the chance to meet up again with the intriguing and elusive Diana Corvus. But the competition has barely begun before there is a murder in "the White City"-the organizer of the contest is discovered face down in the Mammoth Cheese from Canada-and from there, the game is really afoot.

      • content: Sherlock Holmes is their guiding spirit. He's the inspiration for brothers Gustav and Otto Amlingmeyer's decision to pursue the "mystery-solvin' line." Gustav does the "dee-tectin,'' and Otto records their adventures, ˆ la Holmes and Watson. In the spirit of tall tales, William Dufris gives a cheeky performance, never missing a chance to take the author's imaginative silliness over the top. In their fifth adventure, the Amlingmeyers enter a competition to decide the World's Greatest Sleuth, held at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. William Pinkerton is the judge. After a body is found floating in a vat of cheddar cheese, the detecting gets almost serious. Dufris delivers lively dialogue, high-energy melodrama, and a whole lot of fun for fans. S.J.H.
