Fourteen-year-old Enola Holmes, disguised as a beautiful woman, finds clues in floral bouquets as she searches for the missing Doctor Watson, a companion of her famous older brother, Sherlock.

The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets

Kim Tyo-Dickerson

For Sherlock Holmes and strong girl story lovers, this mystery series starring younger sister Enola Eudoria Hedasa Holmes is a Victorian treat. Enola combines sass, brains and ingenuity to solve complex missing persons cases while simultaneously thwarting her brothers Sherlock and Mycroft who insist on tracking her down to force her to become a lady. With two personas, one for the poor and one for the wealthy, to help her solve crimes Enola combines the best bits of the Sherlockian canon, with bolt holes and disguises a plenty. Secret messages that must be decoded, twisted characters seeking revenge (here on Dr. Watson) must be brought to justice and Enola must prove herself time and again to be worthy of her brothers' respect. Fun and suspenseful, my daughter who is 11 and I are relishing the series together, each installment better than the last.

Don't miss Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess! Now 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! Everyone knows Dr. Watson is Sherlock Holmes's right-hand man, so when he goes missing, it's a shock. Even Sherlock hasn't the slightest clue as to where he could be. Enola is intrigued but wary; she's still hiding from her older brothers, and getting involved could prove to be disastrous. But Enola can't help but investigate, especially when she learns that a bizarre bouquet--with flowers all symbolizing death--has been delivered to the Watson residence. Enola knows she must act quickly, but can she find Dr. Watson in time? Praise for Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess: An Edgar Award Nominee! "Empowered, capable, and smart . . .
