Review from Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon: A Minnesota Mystery →
Since this story hits close to home, I thoroughly enjoyed it.There is a historical marker on Interstate 35 as you approach Hinkley from the south. It mentions the Historic Hinkley Fire. I often drive by this sign.In addition, I live in a town that was once James J. Hills farm. Many buildings still exist.

Brands does not disappoint, providing his usual flare to make the story we are familiar with fascinating. Far from a simple recitation of dates, timelines and battles, he delves deeply into personal..
I have loved this series so much. I have book nine left in the series and that’s it. I am so bummed that it’s almost over. It is so captivating through out the series. I wish they had much much more of the Minnesota series. This has been my favorite series I have listened to..
