Addicted to this series.

I’ve read many iterations of Sherlock but this is one of my favorites. The stories are right on the edge of plausible while providing a level of fantasy. As an adult reader I give them an A+.

Nancy Springer is brilliant again!

Enola Holmes is the perfect foil for her brother, the brilliant Sherlock Holmes. The character Enola Holmes continues to grow in this novel. She is most clever, yet naive in so many ways. She creates a unique life for herself, living undercover while she runs the office of a fictional doctor who finds lost things!

The book is clever, fast paced and engaging. Page after page you wonder what is the next adventure for Enola, what predicament will she get herself into, and how will she cleverly escape!

Good listen.

Where does The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

I like a well written story Nancy does a great job with this series.

Have you listened to any of Katherine Kellgren???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Katherine always does a great job.

Another Enola great!

This was a great book, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It is well written and full of adventure! The language of fans and flowers never ceases to amaze me. Who knew so much could be expressed without words?Enola to the rescue! As always, the narrator can’t be beat!

Action packed and hard to put down!

I am thoroughly enjoying this series and this book is one of the best! It is fast-moving, very interesting, and of course quite scary when Enola gets into a bind. It is very well written and the performance by Katherine Kellgren is amazing.

Entertaining and fun read

The continuing adventures of Elona Holmes is a real treat. An independent and inventive girl who seeks freedom from the constraints of society and her two older brothers who are continually trying to capture and train her in a time when women were only meant to be ornaments to their husbands.

Great series

I have loved these well told tales. Ms. Springer and Ms. keligren have delighted on who is woefully tired of violence, raw sex, and foul language propping up weak, as well as good, stories that OUGHT to be enjoyed for their pwn substance. I no longer wish to hear the stuff of military and athletic normalcy. Rise above and write stories that are just enjoyable and uplifting. Dave. Worsham
