The Case of the Left-Handed Lady Audiobook

" I enjoyed this book, which is the second in the series. Having read books two and three, I'm hoping to find book 1 at my library, and then go from there. "

" (3.5 stars) This is the second book in the Enola Holmes series. Enola has managed to establish herself in London, using the offices vacated by a fraud in her last case. She is presenting herself as the secretary to a Perditorian, who of course, does not really exist. Enola is surprised to find Dr. Watson on her doorstep, asking for help, in of all things, finding Enola Holmes, as he is worried about how her missing state is affecting Sherlock Holmes. While Enola finagles this awkward situation, she finds out about an intriguing case that Holmes has turned down regarding a missing young lady. She is quite concerned about her brother, and sends an encrypted message to her mother. In the meantime, she escapes a nasty attack while roaming the streets of London as a silent sister who helps the needy. As she manages to get the case of the young woman by appealing to the mother disguised as the wife of the Peditorian, she also must dodge Holmes, still wary of his intentions to send her away. While a little uneven at times, it was good to see the relationship, although at a distance start to develop between Enola and Sherlock. I am looking forward to reading the further adventures of Enola. "

" This was a fun one to listen to in the car. Sometimes the mystery was a bit predictable, but overall I liked it. "

" This is a fun series. This second in the series brings Enola closer to her brother Sherlock. Since the last book she's also found ingenious ways to survive alone in London even though she's only 14. Fun, fast read. "

" A wonderful series, and surprisingly touching. I know it's classified as YA, but aside from the protagonist being fourteen, I'm not really sure why. The detail and descriptions of Victorian London are written so well in this series that it feels more like an exciting historical fiction novel. "

" I really enjoy these books. It doesn't hurt that the audiobook narrator is absolutely fantastic, but the stories themselves have just the right mix of a feisty heroine (who calls herself plain and really doesn't seem to care about it, which is refreshing), mystery (so far they have been fairly easy to solve, but enjoyable nonetheless), history, and feminism and other interesting concepts (for this book it was Marxism and workers' rights) thrown in. These are in our children's area, and while I understand why, as they might get overlooked in the YA area, I do feel they are slightly more YA appropriate. There is not objectionable content, but pretty big concepts that seem better suited to middle school, or even early high school, than late elementary. "

" Second in the series about Sherlock's resourceful younger sister as she tries to save a lady from a memorizorist's plot and outwit Sherlock Holmes. A quick, entertaining read aimed at younger readers. "

" This is the second in a fun children's mystery series. Enola Holmes is a strong-willed teenager and as gifted as her older brother, Sherlock, at solving mysteries. "

" This series is definitely better than I'd expected. Fun, good mysteries, not dumbed-down for young people, and a little dark, which I appreciate. "

" The series continues. Very enjoyable! "

" Just as good as the first book. Enola once again comes up with ingenious disguises and makes daring escapes as she solves crimes in London and avoids her over bearing older brothers, Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. I can't wait for the next installment. "

" This was a fun, quick read. Oddly enough, I pegged this as a three, almost from the start. About half-way through, something changed and I realized that I had been unexpectedly sucked in and I didn't want to put it down. "

" listening to this on CD. It is quite interesting to consider Sherlock Holmes having a sister that is very logical like him. "

" Conintuation of Enola Holmes life on the run from Sherlock and Mycroft. Delightful. "

" Also liked this one. Enola is growing up on her own and taking on bigger challenges. She is still as quick and keen and sharp as ever. Not going to say more other than I am anxiously awaiting book three! "

" I can't read these fast enough. I got them for the Paris library, and only have 4 more in my stack to read, I hope there is more to the series than just 6 books. "

" I love these books. I love Sherlock Holmes but have always been annoyed at his dislike and distrust of women (as well as his dogged disbelief in their intellect and abilities)... these books are just a tablespoonful of enjoyment in answer to that. "

" This series continues to please me. Enola is an excellent main character and as she thumbs her nose at Sherlock Holmes in every book, I find it quite humorous as well. "

" This series is so much fun - I love anything related to Sherlock Holmes and have found these books to be sweet and exciting! "

" Since I'm not reading these in order it's rather fun to know what happens next when the protagonist doesn't. Probably my favorite of the series. "

" Still enjoying this series. In this one, Enola helps to discover a missing girl. Hypnotism, Marxism, interesting topics for a YA book. "

" Another charming book in this tween series. It has become a guilty pleasure read. "

" I didn't like how all the action happen at the end of the book. "

" Still enjoying this series. In this one, Enola helps to discover a missing girl. Hypnotism, Marxism, interesting topics for a YA book. "

" Listened to Recorded Books audio narrated by Katherine Kellgren. Excellent again. On to the next in the series. "

" Engaging, well-written, and a lot of sheer fun, the second Enola Holmes is even better than the first. 3.8/5 stars (rounded up). "

" Still liking this series. Really clever premise and likable protagonist. If I could, probably would have given it 3.5 stars. "

" Loved this one too, although VERY disappointed that a swear word (female dog) was added in the last couple pages of the book! Dont feel good about recommending this book to elementary age kids, but middle school would be ok I think. This book was at a 7th grade reading level. "

" This continuation of the Enola Holmes of Sherlock fame opens some very dark visions of how powerful social mores of Victorian society could harm women. However its clever conclusion proves that even those who held tightly to its norms could be persuaded. "

" This story was OK. I do plan to read book 3. "

" Conintuation of Enola Holmes life on the run from Sherlock and Mycroft. Delightful. "

" I love Enola's intelligence, and I also like how she still has the emotions of a 14 year old girl. Well written! "

" I like Enola's intelligence, but I also like that she still seems like a 14-year old girl. Well-written. "
