wonderfully excellent

wonderfully excellent with humor in the right places. great for light reading with a twist.

wonderfully historical

I found this book engaging and wonderfully historical. Enola is a relatable hero, as her conversations with herself reveal a compassionate, capable and brilliant detective.

It’s a whole new Holmes!

I love the Enola Holmes mystery. Totally different angle with a generous nod to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s classics. Book 5 in this series draws the series 2 and impressive close.

Enola Holmes is a Delightful Character

The story is engaging and Enola and the others we meet in the book are presented in a very entertaining manner.

Excellent!

I’m really enjoying this entire series. Enola has gotten involved in another intriguing mystery. She continues to outsmart her brothers by the sheer fact that they constantly underestimate her. Can’t wait to read the next book!
