About this deal

Flossie simply cannot be gone from this world,” she stated, her voice clotted yet vibrant with emotion. “At first I wept, all day long, but lying awake last night and thinking it over, I refuse any longer to believe it. My sister and I are twins. Possibly you have heard of the empathic bond twins share. I would have instantly sensed my loss had she passed away.” Still, the characters hold true, and the mystery was fun to read, but not overly complicated. I think that readers within the age range will enjoy this. When Enola arrives, she finds Holmes in a dreadful state and is unable to get him moving. That is until Holmes gets a case but Enola takes it instead. Holmes then perks up! This is just what he needed! Enola and Holmes set about to save a woman before it's too late. I, too, was happy for Flossie’s good fortune, although I saw her seldom and I have missed her dreadfully in the two years since she married. I have been even lonelier since our parents passed on, but I contented myself with the thought that all was well for Flossie—or at least so I thought, until yesterday.” El caso despierta la curiosidad de Enola y decide implicarse. Sabe que debe actuar, y rápido, si quiere hallar al doctor Watson a tiempo.

Flossie simply cannot be gone from this world,” Miss Letitia Glover declares, her eyes wet with emotion. “I would have instantly sensed my loss had she passed away.” But I’m glad to have redeemed my mistake. All the previous books are in my TBR now. I may watch the movie, though I’ll read the book first.

I take great pride in my work as a typist,” she replied, and I thought: Of course! Her card! As I nodded, she attempted a smile, continuing, “As you can tell by my surname, my forebears were humble glove makers, and my family’s money earned in trade, but I share with my sister—” What else can she do when her brother is having one of his bouts again, and the poor Miss Glover was worried for her twin sister? The case doesn’t have too many twists and turns and comes to a satisfactory ending. Enola does her share of sleuthing, going undercover, getting caught, escaping, and finally working with her experienced brother to solve the case together. Viscount Tewky and Dr. Watson are roped in to play their roles. From an unconventional upbringing, which may or may not have led to her outright shunning of society's norms to her sharp intellect and witty sense of humor, I can think of no better role model for young impressionable teens globally. Her role as Perditorian- a finder of that which was lost- allows her to showcase not only her sharp tongue and brazen personality, but embraces her true passion for solving mysteries and flexing her considerable intellectual prowess. I relished Enola's growth throughout the series, from a young unkempt girl, running around barefoot in the fields of her ancestral home, to a proper young woman with a taste for society's fashions. Enola has managed to integrate the aspects of society she finds pleasing without allowing it to consumer her personality and I admire that. This is a powerful lesson in the ability of young women to chart their own course, their own destiny, without succumbing to the fancies of society. Watson seemed a bit flummoxed by my views, but replied staunchly, “Any rousing change should surely be an improvement.”

I do wish we saw more Mycroft, but alas, there are always future novels for us to discover more adventures of the charming, stylish and intelligent Ms. Enola Holmes. It is every bit as fun as the first six Enola Holmes mysteries. There are currently (24-Oct-2023) two more Enola Holmes novels, published in 2022 and 2023, and I will certainly read them. Mientras se esconde de su propio hermano, Enola se topa con unos dibujos al carboncillo y siente una conexión inmediata con su autora, Lady Cecily, pero esta ha desaparecido sin dejar rastro. Así que Enola deberá resolver los enigmas que conducen hasta esta dama zurda.Die Beschreibungen der Schauplätze lassen das historische London aufleben und ich liebe die vielen kleinen Details, die über die standesgemäße Kleidung, die Konversationen und die schwierigen Einzelheiten der Gepflogenheiten der Umgangsformen einfließen. Das war schon eine sehr eigentümliche Zeit aus heutiger Sicht mit den ganzen Etiketten, die man einhalten musste und die kompliziert erscheinen. Nicht nur die Frauen, auch die Männer. Rather than speaking—indeed, perhaps unable to speak—Miss Glover bent, reached into her reticule, and withdrew a letter, which she passed to me. A young girl who is empowered, capable, and smart…the Enola Holmes book series convey an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it, and it does so in an exciting and adventurous way.”–Millie Bobby Brown The mystery of this book was incredible! Enola's client is looking for clues about her twin sister who mysteriously died soon after marrying an earl. These peculiar circumstances made for a fast-paced and twist-filled novel! Enola manages to unravel clues leading to her client's sister, but not everything is as it seems. So many twists caught me off guard! I was absolutely reeling by the end of this story!
