Libby audiobook 3 hours
Read by: Katherine Kellgren
Published: 2010
Genre: YA historical fiction, detective mystery
I hadn't read this one before. I finished it a few weeks ago. This is the one where she finds out her mother has died (a good reason to read them in order!).
Duchessa(?) Blanchefleur has gone missing.
Sherlock helps Enola trick Mycroft (amusing cab scenes)
mysterious package left @ Ferndale with the gypsies' help
Last communication from Eudoria Holmes
She (the duchessa) has had a tight corset on since childhood and cannot sit upright without it! Horrors. It made me think of Chinese foot-binding. Ugh to "beauty" standards.
The whole teenage Enola outsmarts Sherlock theme gets a bit old sometimes, but these books are for a young, female audience . . .
That said, a fun mystery story with lots of clues and fun.
