Book 12 World's Greatest Sleuth by Steve Hockensmith
In this book, Otto and Gustav are attending the World's Fair in Chicago. There is a contest to crown the World's Greatest Sleuth now that Holmes has gone over the falls. I have to say that I checked this one out from the library a couple of years ago and renewed it 3 times without finishing it. Just a few weeks ago, I pulled it out again. It's been enough years since it came out, with no other Amlingmeyer books following it, that I was pretty sure this would be the final installment of the Holmes on the Range Series. The whole series is goofy and funny, the mysteries themselves are not rocket surgery. I found this final installment though to be extra goofy and the mystery to be far less compelling. Ultimately, there were just a lot of elaborate shenanigans and hijinx. I was glad for the ending the brothers got, but I suppose I could have just read the first 3 and last 3 chapters.
