This was a great discussion point for out book club. But along the way, she is intrigued by the case of another “missing” person and she decides to investigate.ĭespite being written in this century, the writing has an old-style feeling, and draws heavily on period language. Enola has other ideas and escapes, heading to London to search for her mother. Surprised at the state of the estate and Enola herself, Mycroft decides that Enola will be sent to boarding school.
When Enola’s mother disappears and doesn’t return, Enola is forced to inform her two older brothers – Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. The book is full of fun disguises and clever ways that Enola learns to consider her environment, to move around undetected and to start living on her own terms. Unsurprisingly, the book is much better than the movie (even considering Henry Cavill – sorry Henry). With the announcement of the Enola Holmes movie, we decided to read the first book in the Enola Holmes series, The Case of the Missing Marquess in our Year 6 book club. Amid all the mayhem, will Enola be able to decode the necessary clues and find her mother? My thoughts
Because when she arrives, she finds herself involved in the kidnapping of a young marquess, fleeing murderous villains, and trying to elude her shrewd older brothers–all while attempting to piece together clues to her mother’s strange disappearance. But nothing can prepare her for what awaits. When Enola Holmes, sister to the detective Sherlock Holmes, discovers her mother has disappeared, she quickly embarks on a journey to London in search of her.
