The 5-Minute Sherlock series puts Drew Hayes’s comedic voice into a mystery framework. The Case of the Damaged Detective (2019) opens the three-book series, followed by The Case of the Haunted Haunted House (2021) and The Case of the Felonious Faire (2023).

The books are shorter than Hayes’s full-length novels and lean into the humor of detective fiction tropes. They sit comfortably alongside his other genre-bending work, offering quick reads for fans already familiar with his style.
