Enola Holmes is settles in the women's club and at peace with her two older brothers. When an up-and-coming author, Rudyard Kipling, asks Enola's imaginary employer to find his missing friend, an American, Wolcott Balestier, Enola is happy to take on the case. Kipling, however, is not willing to let a mere woman assist him, and turns, instead to Sherlock for help. Head to head again, the two brilliant siblings dive into the mystery. Sherlock suspects that international book pirates are behind the deed, but Enola begins to suspect the culprits are much more local, and deadly.
This is the most recent of the Enola Holmes series, though another is due to come out in 2026. I have very much enjoyed reading through the whole series. This one is much like the others, though Springer included some interesting cameos in this one: Kipling and Balestier, and also Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister. None their actions in the story are very historically accurate, but they are all based on real people. Once again, the interaction between Sherlock and Enola is charming. I look forward for the release of the next in the series. (2023, 304 p)
