๐Ÿ“šEnola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade(#8) By Nancy Springer

Enola Holmes, the much younger sister of Sherlock, is now living independently in London and working as a scientific perditorian (a finder of persons and things). But that is not the normal lot of young women in Victorian England. They are under the near absolute control of their nearest male relative until adulthood. Such is the case of Enola's friend, Lady Cecily Alastair. Twice before Enola has rescued Lady Cecily from the unpleasant designs of her caddish father, Sir Eustace Alastair, Baronet. And when Enola is brusquely turned away at the door of the Alastair home it soon becomes apparent that Lady Cecily once again needs her help. Affecting a bold escape, Enola takes Lady Cecily to her secret office only to be quickly found by the person hired by Lady Cecily's mother to find the missing girlโ€”Sherlock Holmes himself. But the girl has already disappeared again, now loose on her own in the unforgiving city of London. Even worse, Lady Cecily has a secret that few know. She has dual personalitiesโ€”one, which is left-handed, is independent and competent; the other, which is right-handed is meek and mild. Now Enola must find Lady Cecily againโ€”before one of her personalities gets her into more trouble than she can handle and before Sherlock can find her and return her to her father. Once again, for Enola, the game is afoot.

๐Ÿ’ญMy review๐Ÿป The cover of this book is absolutely beautiful and fits perfectly. I really wanted to enjoy this book and I was excited about it. I was worried about it being #8 and I hadn't read the ones before. But I don't feel like I missed anything and this could have been a stand-alone. I really enjoyed this book it was a fun fast read and there were so many details in this book that it was easy to visualize everything going on. My favourite was all the mysteries and secrets. I really like the Holmes family. Pub Date 06 Sep 2022 I would like to say thank you to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for providing me with a digital copy. I give it 4 stars โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ * * * * #canadianbookstagrammer #over30bookstagram #instagramreads #ottawabookstagrammers #bookishcanadians #momreads #mamabearsbookshelf #bookinfluencer #bibliophil #bookstagramer #booklover #bookworm #instabooks #bookcommunity #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviews #booksofinsta #booknerd #greatreads #readingislife
