  In 1889, Enola Holmes, the clever younger sister of Sherlock (and a fellow private investigator), meets her brother's latest client and quickly takes the lead in solving the case. Miss Letitia Glover recently received word of her twin sister, Flossie's, death, but she is suspicious of her brother-in-law, a wealthy earl. Traveling in disguise, Enola arrives at his stately home, wrangles an invitation to stay, and uses her time to observe the household and ferret out information. Locked into Flossie's boudoir, she discovers an important clue and then makes a perilous escape. Readers drawn to the audacious main character and her lively, droll first-person narrative will find themselves learning about Victorian English society while increasing their vocabularies. Sherlock Holmes contributes the book's prologue and epilogue. In The Case of the Missing Marquess (2006), Springer first introduced Enola to mystery lovers. Five sequels quickly followed. The Netflix film Enola Holmes (2020) has brought a new wave of readers to the original books, and this latest novel continues the chronicle of this capable, ingenious, and fiercely independent young woman. Grades 7-9. Copyright 2021 Booklist Reviews.
