The Case of the Bizarre Bouquet


 Shirley J.                Adult Fiction                        Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes' little sister Enola

The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets: An Enola Holmes Mystery by Nancy Springer   176 pages

When Sherlock Holmes' best friend and right-hand man, Dr. Watson goes missing, Sherlock is baffled but on the search for clues.  Mycroft, his older, wiser brother is enlisted but little do the brothers know there is a third searcher, their younger sister, Enola.   Of course, Enola doesn't let on she is on the case but her disguises and sleuthing rival her older brothers' skill in tracking down clues.  It is a fun story with just the right bit of whit and humor like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle brought to all his Sherlock stories.  The reader gets to experience Enola's process in figuring out the case.   I enjoyed this story immensely and will be checking for other tales starring Enola Holmes.   I recommend this one to Middle Schoolers on up.
