Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche (Enola Holmes #7)

By: Nancy Springer

Libby audiobook 5 hours

Read by: Christopher Bonwell and Tamaryn Payne

Published: 2021

Genre: YA historical fiction, detective mystery

 

This was delightful! Sherlock is both arrogant (intro) and diminished in relation to his little sister Enola. That aspect is what I like least about this series. A young woman shows up at 221 Baker Street while Enola is trying to rouse Sherlock out of his apathy. Miss Letitia Glover (Tish) has just received a letter and ashes stating that her twin sister has died and been cremated. 


Felicity, the Earl (Caddy), Tewkesbury, . . . the cast of characters is perfect for this story. The black barouche is a sign that someone has been carted off to the insane asylum. I love how Felicity left a message in her last painting! And the crazy horse "Jezzy" - Jezebel. Springer has a delightful series in these books.
