The Case of the Left Handed Lady (Enola Holmes #2)

Enola Holmes Mystery #2

by Nancy Springer 

Libby audiobook 5 hours 

Read by: Katherine Kellgren 

Published: 2007, audio in 2008 

Genre: YA historical mystery 

 

This was enjoyable, but I think I am done with this series for now. I am re-watching the Netflix movie, which I truly enjoy. 

 

In this one, Enola is on her own in London and trying to make a business for herself as a secretary (Miss Mesholm - Holmes mixed around) to Dr. Leslie Ragustin (?). She learns of Lady Cecily's disappearance and makes inquiries in disguise. There are dangers galore as she is garrotted by a strong man (high neck dress and random drunkards to the rescue) and almost captured by her brothers Sherlock and Mycroft. 

 

Some of the references in this: 

Perditorian - someone who finds lost things or people 

Mesmer / Mesmerize 

Jekyll-and-Hyde 

Jack the Ripper
