The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan (Enola Holmes #4)

by Nancy Springer

Libby audiobook 4 hours

Published: 2008 (this version 2009)

Read by: Katherine Kellgren

Genre: YA historical fiction, detective story

 

This book is #4 in the series and brings us into contact with Lady Cecily again. This time, she is being married off to an odious young man (also her cousin) against her mother's wishes. Enola ends up being the hero, of course, and makes a tentative truce with Sherlock.

 

The orphans, the "Ha ha" man, the awful women trying to force the marriage, and all of Enola's disguises and attempts to avoid her brothers . . . the pink fan was an interesting detail. A cheap party favor with a plea for help written in invisible ink. Nice.

 

I don't like reading books out of order, but I do like this series pretty well. I like the language choices. I like this reader.
