Hunters of the Dead

Holmes on the Range Mysteries, Book 7

By: Steve Hockensmith

Narrated by: Chuck Galco

Sherlock Holmes Meets the Old West in This Fast-Paced Murder Mystery That Unearths More Than Just Fossils.

The A.A. Western Detective Agency takes on a new case in 1894 Wyoming, a land of bandit gangs and rustlers, when a group of scientists come to town in the hopes of rustling up something very different—dinosaur fossils. With Big Red and Old Red Amlingmeyer on protection duty, Old Red’s obsession with Sherlock Holmes is forced to take a back seat. Until a human body is shockingly discovered during an excavation, that is.

As the mystery deepens, these cowboy detectives must put their sleuthing skills to the test to catch a killer stalking their client’s dig site. With death lurking around every corner, can the Double-A Western Detective Agency catch the killer before it’s too late?

Love this series

The latest installment of Holmes on the range is as good as the rest. New narrator. He does a fine job.

Another great story!

I am not a huge western fan or Sherlock Holmes fan but I love these stories. I have read and listened to all of them. The characters are engaging, the mysteries solid, and a great mix of humor thrown in as well. I was worried because this one had a new reader but he was very good. I hope I don’t have to wait very long for the next book in the series.

Good as always but old Narrator was better

Good as always but old Narrator was better. I am not saying the new narrator is bad but I prefer the old one, who made the listen more enjoyable and even comical. Some , however, may prefer the new one and the stories are still good.

glad to have a new story

I didn't care for the naration at all. Spoke with no real inflection. Had to concentrate too much. Story was good as usual, look forward to the next one. hopefully with a previous narrator.

another excellent adventure

What could be more exciting than intriguing murders surrounding the early days of paleontology. Happy to see our native American friend has come back to lend his own brand of humor. Love the way the author makes the old west come alive with a variety of situations. Best of all , it ends in a cliffhanger for a different story, meaning that we can look forward to another excellent adventure.

PS we have another new narrator who is not as vibrant in his Western accent as the previous narrators but serves the purpose well. I could only wish that Western narrators worked harder on the native American accents.
