Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade is a triumphant return to the mysteries of London. Enola and her friend Cecily are forever bonded after their experience in The Black Barouche. Yet Cecily still isn’t out of danger- her villainous father is horribly controlling and keeping her trapped. It will take Enola and all her disguises to help Cecily and her family in time!
Enola is as independent and resourceful as ever, having learned more from her many successful cases. While she still mourns her mother, Enola has accepted her mother is gone and instead tries to think through how her mother would approach problems. In The Elegant Escapade, Enola learns to leverage a connection to her mother and must outwit her brother Sherlock to prevent him from interfering. Both Cecily and Enola gain confidence, while working to escape and blackmail Cecily’s father. The ending was satisfying and I am curious to see where Cecily and Enola find themselves next!
