Kat Halloway's husband's real wife comes to her for help tracing what really happened to Joe, having been told that he did not die at sea but had come back to England with a considerable amount of money.

We get to hear a lot of Daniel's backstory as well as Kat's. Coupled with the increasing closeness of their relationship, it gave this installment in the series a valedictory feel, but there is at least another novel and a novella still to come.

Another great Enola Holmes adventure!!😊

I really enjoyed this debut historical romance/fantasy with a bit of a steampunk feel and a nice faith-filled atmosphere as well. Taking place in 1860 London, Clara Marie Stanton has always felt responsible for shielding/protecting her lovable but eccentric (some might say insane) family, and she has devoted herself to that end. Her beloved grandfather, a clockmaker and inventor of a flying owl machine, decides to take a flying adventure through🔽

Liked Vol 2 more than Vol 1. Getting to know the characters. We‘ve got some more familiar faces. I like loose cannon Moran. I do NOT like Cockney Sherlock. Will def read Vol 3. I want to know where this is going.

14/150 Another clever and entertaining mystery involving Enola Holmes, and her lesser known brother Sherlock. I like how Enola has grown and changed with each new story, growing in skills and confidence. I hope the author has many more of these stories to tell. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
14th book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65

This was such a cozy read. I enjoyed the author‘s discussion of periodical archives at the end, too. The mystery was relatively straightforward but plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Picture of me resting after chopping logs for the fire at my friend‘s NYE party. Happy New Year! 🎆

The newest Enola Holmes mystery was my last read of 2023. What a great way to end the year! Oh, how I love Enola. 💖

This was fun, light, fluffy. A good historical mystery that's not at all demanding with a dash of romance and feminism. I did like the "agony aunt" aspect to the story, though perhaps it does reveal that this is more of a pastiche with modern sensibilities. It reminded me a bit of Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey series, which I also enjoyed. I read this for the cozy mystery prompt for #CloakAndDaggerChristmas @Ruthiella
