    About this audiobook

    Xena and Xander Holmes are back . . . and so is a mysterious beast from Sherlock's casebook!

    Xena and Xander have been looking forward to their vacation in the peaceful country village of Blackslope. But when a huge monster begins to terrorize the town, the young detectives are faced with a mystery that seems impossible to solve.

    Sherlock Holmes, Xena and Xander's famous ancestor, investigated the case of a horrible beast in Blackslope, but that was nearly a hundred years ago. It couldn't be the same creature after all this time-or could it?

      Xena and Xander are back to slove another of Sherlock's unsolved mysteries. This time, they are vacationing in the small town of Blackslope where the beast of Sherlock's time seems to be making a repeat appearance. The town hears spooky howls in the night, sheep are missing, fences knocked over and the town is afraid for their lives and livelihood. I really like this series, though the mystery didn't necessarily get "solved" in the same way it did in the first book which was pretty disappointing.
