Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche continues Enola’s adventures as she attempts to crack a mysterious case. This is number seven in the series, though it can be read as a standalone. Enola meets a young woman who is concerned about the strange death of her twin and suspects foul play. As they examine the clues it soon becomes clear that something nefarious is going on. If she isn’t dead, where did Felicity disappear to? Along with her brother Sherlock, Enola embarks on a journey to find out.

Enola is fearless as ever and determined to find the truth regardless of obstacles. This mystery forces Enola to go undercover, revisit old friends, and interpret subtle clues. The dialogue is witty and may challenge readers to pull out a dictionary! Enola is a strong and courageous character whose exploits make it a fast-paced read. This story deals with important themes of mental health and women’s rights in a historical context. Seeing Sherlock and Watson as they assist in unraveling the mystery was delightful, though only Enola can come up with her twisty schemes!

This would be a really fun mystery for any Enola Holmes fan regardless of age, though intended audience is likely upper middle grade. Thank you to Nancy Springer, Wednesday Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
