Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche by Nancy Springer
I was given a free e-copy of this novel by NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Fifteen year old Enola Holmes, the baby sister to Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, is requested by Dr. John Watson to check on her brother as he is currently in a state of melancholy. Since their sibling reunion, Enola had not seen her brothers and was eager to assist. However, upon arrival another lady appears, needing Sherlock’s unique skills to find out what has happened to her twin sister, Felicity. Tish has received a letter from her brother-in-law that Felicity has died but Tish believes it to be false because twins always know. As Sherlock appears to be ignoring the lady, Enola takes it upon herself to find Felicity. Gradually, the case becomes interesting to Sherlock and soon brother and sister are working together to find, and save, Lady Felicity. Only now the case has taken a diabolical turn as Enola soon discovers that this is not the first of the Earl’s wives to have gone missing. Enola must use all of her resources to save the lady in question. She must even call upon her old friend, Viscount Tewkesbury.
