Sort of forgot I'd read this til I started watching the movie on Netflix the other night. Not bad, but if it was catering to my tastes there would be more crossdressing.
This book was recently pulled from the Global Reading Challenge because it has the word "prostitute" in it. Sigh. So that prompted me to read it and, boy, are the GRC kids missing out if they don't read it despite it being pulled from the competition. It's a great mystery with excellent characters and lots of fun historical detail.
I didn't even notice the word "prostitute" and I was listening for it (I downloaded the audio book narrated by Katherine Kellgren--she's the best!). Enola specifically says "lady of the night" a few times and then admits she's not sure what the phrase even means. There are some scary parts, but nothing gruesome. I'd recommend it highly to mystery fans. First in a series. ( )
I more so read this book because eleven will be leading this movie series in a few years. I thought it was a fun and quick read. I loved my various plot lines included in this book and also the family dymancics of Enola holmes. It was such a fast read and it kept my attention. I loved the narrator a lot and will def be checking out the other books in the series. I did enjoy how even though every book may have individual case there is also a long term series long case that might become super compelling. I will def. be checking out the movie as well ( )

The only light struggles from the few gas street-lamps that remain unbroken, and from pots of fire suspended above the cobblestones, tended by old men selling boiled sea snails outside the public houses.

But meanwhile, as she looks at the newspaper clipping, her rather long and angular face softens, rendered almost beautiful, by a smile: for she knows that in the secret code of flowers, a rose of any sort signifies love.
Enola Holmes, much younger sister of detective Sherlock Holmes, must travel to London in disguise to unravel the disappearance of her missing mother.

Description du livre
S'il est une chose que j'aimerais savoir, c'est pourquoi ma mère m'a nommée " Enola ".
Enola qui, à l'envers, se lit: alone. En anglais: seule. Et c'est bel et bien seule que je me suis retrouvée le jour de mes quatorze ans, ma mère ayant disparu de notre manoir de façon inexpliquée.
J'ai alors été contrainte d'en informer mes frères aînés que je n'avais pas revus depuis dix ans - Mycroft et Sherlock Holmes. Or ce n'était pas eux qui allaient m'être d'un grand secours. Jugeant que mon éducation laissait à désirer, Mycroft n'avait qu'une idée : m'expédier en pension pour faire de moi une lady.
En outre, Sherlock estimait ma capacité crânienne bien trop limitée pour pouvoir résoudre le mystère de cette disparition. J'étais pourtant la seule à avoir décelé des indices dont mon détective de frère n'avait pas la moindre idée. C'est donc le cœur empli d'espoir, que j'ai décidé, malgré mes appréhensions, de partir à la recherche de ma mère. Seule.
