Karen Vaughan lives in Peterborough, Ontario with her husband Jim and a cat named JJ who has plenty of catitude! Karen started her literary journey in 2005 when she was home on sick leave and was tired of staring at the four walls or twiddling her thumbs. An idea for what would become DEAD ON ARRIVAL popped in to her head and the feisty 30 something character Laura wouldn't leave her alone til her story was written. Laura took a break from pestering the poor author so she could write a free standing novel DEAD COMIC STANDING. Soon Laura was on the campaign to get Karen back to what would become the Laura and Gerry series. It now has 7 books, the latest being DEAD TO WRITES. Karen is the proud mom of one, step-mom of 4 grown kids, and 2 grand children. While not writing her fingers to the bone she hosts WRITERS ROUND TABLE , an online radio show the second Tuesday of each month. She is also a partner with Viv Drewa in OWL & PUSSYCAT PROMOTIONS. promoting independent authors. Karen is also a stand up comedian who does her routine for local talent nights. She also loves reading, crafts and drawing.

5.0 out of 5 stars IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE THIS WHODUNIT
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
When Kristen Sherlock is on probation and gets the job of babysitting British Detective Nigel Holmes all hell will break loose. The partnership between Sherlock and Holmes becomes an all-out war with a corrupt cop and his minions.
The tension mounts, villains come out of the walls, Sherlock and Eversley fall in love and a good friendship evolves between Sherlock and Holmes as he loses some of the last vestiges of his bad social skills.
I adored this book and can hardly wait for a new installment of the Sherlock and Holmes partnership, or do I say the collaboration between Sherlock, Eversley, and Holmes?
It’s impossible not to love Ms. Vaughan’s books. They are a definite go-to when one wants a good read, with a tad of romance, a lot of suspense, murder, and great plots.

Holmes in America by Karen Vaughan is one of those hard-to-put-down, high energy, suspenseful books you dream of finding. This Canadian police procedural had great characters, a smooth flowing plot, and tons of excitement. I highly recommend.

Intriguing and full of suspense. It was interesting following along and becoming a sleuth following the clues. Great mystery and whodunit story. Love the relationships and interaction between the characters - made this story an enjoyable read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Unlimited, NOT a Sherlock Holmes type story
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017
Kindle Unlimited, no idea why it is supposedly about Sherlock Holmes or why, all the different almost constant switches in point of view of who was telling the story at whichever time was confusing, so confusing had to try to sight read instead of letting my pc read it aloud to me, was an okay story but still no idea what was going on or with how or why or anything so.... I suppose the one character is actually named Holmes and a different one with the last name of Sherlock, which is just more than a bit too cutesy to me and unnecessarily confusing as well as nothing much to do with Sherlock Holmes type stories.Needs to be possible selection for 'confusing' instead of 'some twists'/

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fast-moving Police Procedural.
Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
Kristin Holmes, a detective suspected of dope dealing, is teamed with a new partner, Nigel Holmes, a detective sent to Canada to get him away from a screwed-up investigation in Manchester, England. There’s fun when Nigel’s insensitive Brit personality and unintelligible slang meets sweary and highly competent Kristin’s baffling Canadianisms as they fight various crimes in Toronto. Recommended for those who like pacey crime stories with a humorous bent.
