When Enola Holmes, sister to the detective Sherlock Holmes, discovers her mother has disappeared, she quickly embarks on a journey to London in search of her. But nothing can prepare her for what awaits. Because when she arrives, she finds herself involved in the kidnapping of a young marquess, fleeing murderous villains, and trying to elude her shrewd older brother—all while attempting to piece together clues to her mother's strange disappearance.

Review of 'The Case of the Missing Marquess (Enola Holmes, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

Cute, snappy YA fare with quite a bit more wit than it deserves to have. It surprised me at several turns, and while the story is a bit thin and the end comes too quickly, I'm hopeful that the full series read together will complete a fuller story. This is better than the Netflix movie adaptation, and I found that film quite delightful.
