A female Holmes??

The main character, Enola Holmes, is the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. Contrary to the plot summary, she does not work with her brothers on the case of the disappearance of Dr. Watson. In fact, she keeps her activities secret from them - and she does solve the case.

Enola Holmes is a spunky girl, determined to make her way as a detective in Victorian England - despite her brothers' wishes that she be a respectable female. Her mother is a bit of a free spirit, apparently, and is not much help. Enola is, in my opinion at least, rather too focused on her relationship with her mother (very strained - they communicate in code in the personal column of a newspaper) and brothers (they want to send her to a finishing school). Despite that preoccupation, she takes effective action to find the good doctor, and I rather liked her.

I loved it

It was not only interesting but fun to hear. It has me questioning what type of relationship the Home's family will have in the future.

Sexism

Every chapter in all the books, she has to point out that Victorian England was sexist. It destracts from the story. It was 150 years ago get over it! Of all the social problems and she harps on and on about how people underestimated Enola because she is a girl.

amazing!

I've absolutely enjoyed this story, even more so than I've enjoyed the previous ones. I've enjoyed every aspect, from the writing to the narration, it's perfect! I look forward to continuing this series. I really hope to see more of Cecily Alistair. Hopefully, Enola will have more interactions with her! (Poor girl really needs company, lol)
