Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose

The New Adventures of Enola Holmes 3

De: Nancy Springer

Narrado por: Tamaryn Payne

In May of 1890, Enola Holmes is finally fully on her own and, no longer hiding from her older brothers Sherlock and Mycroft, attending classes and occasionally pursuing her chosen profession as a scientific perditorian, a finder of lost things and people.

Wolcott Balestier, the representative of an American book publisher, arrived in London on a singular mission—to contract with English authors for their latest works. When Balestier disappears on the streets of London one day, his great friend - Rudyard Kipling—bursts into Enola's office looking for help in finding him. Brash and unwilling to hire a young woman, instead he turns to Sherlock Holmes. Convinced that evil has befallen Balestier, at the hands of rival American publishers who pirate the works of English authors, he sets the elder Holmes on the trail.

But Enola is not one to accept defeat, especially not to her brother, and sets off on her own—determined to learn the truth behind the disappearance of the young American. Can book publishing truly be so ruthless and deadly or can the missing man be rescued from his apparent fate and returned to his friends and loved ones?

The redoubtable Enola is determined to do just that, even if it means working with her brother Sherlock!

Truly excellent

Wonderful to see Enola evolving, learning and GROWING (which is what's missing in many other long-running female-detective series, Rhys Bowen I'm looking at you.) Also splendid to see the development of female friendships, and her increasing collaborations with Sherlock.

Regarding narration, Tamaryn Payne does a remarkable job considering who she had to follow (the late, great Katherine Kellgren). I'd love to see her improve her range of British (Scottish, Irish, etc) accents, but that's just me.

Loved it!

Clean and entertaining- this listener is hooked. Thank you so much to both writer and narrator.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I loved every bit of it! I sincerely loved how Tamaryn Payne read this beautifully. I look forward to more of Enola Holmes adventures! I might say, this is one of my favorite books as of yet!

Fun book
