"Continuing on with this series and continuing to enjoy it greatly! The series is far from perfect, but it is still just so darn engaging despite any flaws. Funny enough, for a supposed mystery series, I'd say the actually mysteries are pretty weak. They certainly aren't up to the standards of the great Sherlock Holmes! But what's funny is that it doesn't really matter a bit! Again, London itself plays a starring role and what a larger than life character she is! It's really been a long time since I've devoured a series like this. Currently reading the fourth installment as we speak!"

" This is my least favorite of the series. I thought it was a little gross and not as adventrous as the rest. "
— Tiffany, 2/19/2014" My third Enola book--but the first I've read since I've become obsessed with Sherlock Holmes. This one is great! Love the setting, love Enola, love that she's like her brother in so many ways. I also like that Enola is starting to get some respect from Sherlock (can't say about Mycroft, though). The Holmes series I've been reading is set in the 1920s when Sherlock is close to 60. So it's fun to read about him back in the 1880s. Oh, and Enola too! "
— Kate, 2/8/2014" In my opinion, this is the strongest in this series so far. I love the character of Enola -- she's strong yet the characterization is still appropriate to her age, and intellectually she's Sherlock's match. I also enjoy the peek into Victorian society and the social issues of the time. "
— Jen, 1/29/2014" I didn't like this book as much as the first two, even though it was still a delightful read. Maybe it's because I'm used to the story line now, so it's not as new and creative. Whatever the reason, I still recommend reading these books -- very quick and clever. "
— Hilary, 1/27/2014" another great mystery. Interesting characters and storyline. Well written.she even uses some words that I need to look up in the dictionary. My girls & I like this series. "
— Verona, 1/23/2014" Continuing the adventures of Enola Holmes, the free-spirited, hard headed sister of the infamous Sherlock Holmes. See how she fairs in the 3rd book of the Enola Holmes mystery. For a spoiler free review, please look at the first book in the series, "The Case of the Missing Marquess." "
— Hoover, 1/17/2014" A fun and exciting addition to this series. Although short and packaged to appeal to younger readers it can be well appreciated by older folk (and I'm pretty old). Good period feel, a spunky heroine, interesting adventures, "
— Phair, 1/17/2014" Excellent mystery. Enola, our plucky heroine, takes the case when Dr. Watson goes missing while still staying hidden from her brothers. "
— Grace, 1/7/2014" The third book in the Enola Holmes series. Dr Watson has disappeared. Even Sherlock can't find him, so Enola decides to try. Can she solve the mystery before Watson is killed and before Sherlock or Mycroft find her? A charming delightful story for Holmes lovers everywhere. "
— Dayna, 12/7/2013" This is the third Enola Holmes Mystery. There are parts that are funny and parts that are pretty dark so I would recommend it for a good sixth grade reader through middle school. Historical mystery "
— Amy, 12/6/2013" This is my favorite in the series so far. And this was the first one that I listened to on audiobook. The reader, Katherine Kellgren, was fabulous! "
