Don’t miss Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess! A Netflix original movie starring Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Helena Bonham Carter!

Enola Holmes—younger sister to Sherlock Holmes—is back on another case!

Enola Holmes is being hunted by the world’s most famous detective—her own brother, Sherlock Holmes. But while she is on the run in the world’s biggest, darkest, dirtiest city, she discovers a hidden cache of charcoal drawings and feels as if she is a soul mate to the girl who drew them. But that girl, Lady Cecily, has disappeared without a trace. Braving the midnight streets, Enola must unravel the clues to find this left-handed lady, but in order to save her, Enola risks revealing more than she should. Will she be able to keep her identity a secret and find Lady Cecily, or will the one thing she is trying to save—her freedom—be lost forever?

A great listen!

Again, enjoyed Enola's strength, wit and charm very much. A fun listen!! She is definitely a gal before her time.

I am enamored

I am not usually a fan of teenage stories. I haven't been a teen for a very long time. But this series is fascinating. I love how this teen is confounding her much older brothers, one of them being the "famous Sherlock Holmes." In an era where women and children are little more than chattel, this enterprising youngster is living life her way, and doing it quite well. This particular story was harrowing. There were some very tense moments, but there was also some fun moments. I am finding myself completely enamored by this young woman. I find the Audible version especially satisfying. I look forward to reading/listening to the next book in this fun series.

Riveting!

I really loved this one. It kept me pinned to keep listening. Such surprises at the end. Didn’t see that coming!

Two Sides To A Lady

Enola remains alone in London, trying to connect to her mother and surroundings, helping the poor as a "sister" dressed in black and taking on the role of a secretary to a finder of lost things. A girl alone stumbles into the mystery of left handed lady, a young lady who's art touches Enola's heart and so she risks discovery to recover her from under a kind of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde "master" of mesmerism.

Plucky

I am just loving these tales. This series is for adults who enjoy fun as well as teens. Don't really think its all that appropriate for under 12's as some of the scenes are gory or stuff to make you a bit sick. Great details from the time period though.
Love how Enola plunders along learning as she goes. She's naive about lot of city ways, but seems to always land on her feet and not need help from a man all that often. She is growing in the ways of perditoria (spelling) and life.

Anything narrated by K Kellgren is fabulous in my book.
