Una tercera parte que engancha y que deja con ganas de continuar con la saga. La lectura es amena en todo momento, así que entre eso y lo corto que es el libro (205 páginas), me lo acabé en un par de sentadas. A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls. I initially read/listened to audiobook version of the Enola Holmes mysteries when my girls were very small. Now they are much older and enjoy listening to audiobooks, I thought it would be fun if we listened to the Enola Holmes stories this summer when we drive around on errands.

Each of the books has a central mystery at its core that Enola has to solve. Typically, these are focused on women and their problems in the era. For example — women being forced to wear corsets, thrown into arranged marriages, being robbed etc. (the rest of the review is available at my blog or any of the links below)

With precise characterization, fast pacing and keen observation, readers will be eager to learn what Enola will encounter next. Empowered, capable, and smart . . . [with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it.” –Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things

Book Genre: Adventure, British Literature, Childrens, European Literature, Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Juvenile, Middle Grade, Mystery, Young AdultYou also get annoying tidbits like this: “I firmly believe that the whole reason women must wear long skirts is so that they are unable to do anything worthwhile.” First of all, Enola, you really think there is some nefarious plot going on to stop all women from being themselves??? Through skirts???? Please shut up. Second of all, this is in the middle of a chase scene. Can we cut the political stuff and get to the action, please? Perkenalkan saya Nandy dan saya memiliki ketertarikan dalam dunia menulis. Saya juga suka membaca buku, sehingga beberapa buku yang pernah saya baca akan direview. Empowered, capable, and smart . . . [with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it." --Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things I libri di Nancy Springer sono sempre piacevoli da leggere, scorrevoli, trama intrigante, personaggi interessanti. Ottimo per trascorrere alcune ore in completo relax.

Nancy Springer tinggal di Pennsylvania selama empat puluh enam tahun. Ia memiliki dua anak, yakni Jonathan Paul (lahir tahun 1974) dan Nora Lynn (lahir tahun 1978), dari suami pertamanya Joel Springer, seorang menteri dan fotografer seni rupa. Nancy Springer dan Joel Springer bercerai pada tahun 1996. Tak lama setelah itu, pada tahun 1999, Nancy bertemu dengan suami keduanya, Jaime Fernando Pinto, ketika dia bekerja di penampungan hewan. Pada tahun 2007, Nancy dan keluarganya pindah ke Bonifay, salah satu daerah terpencil di Florida. Daerah itu adalah tempat yang kondusif untuk menjalankan hobinya, yakni mengamati burung, menunggang kuda, memancing, dan kecintaannya pada penerbangan.Tra intrighi e segreti, Enola Holmes si ritrova ancora una volta ad essere un ragazza che dona una rivalsa per le donne in un'epoca dove la loro più grande ambizione poteva essere solo quella di partorire una squadra di calcio. For when Enola visits the grieving Mrs. Watson, she discovers a decidedly bizarre bouquet among the standard bunches of flowers signifying condolences. Composed of an odd and sinister assortment of flowers, the bizarre bouquet seems to have been sent by someone who wanted revenge on Dr and/or Mrs Watson, and who is very happy the Doctor is missing. Perhaps the sender of the bouquet is also the one responsible for Dr. Watson's disappearance..! The villain is a mentally ill woman. I dislike this in general, because it’s easy for authors to use this as an excuse for a flawed plot: it doesn’t have to make sense, because the villain’s crazy! It also makes for gruesome scenes. And yes, this book has them. The lady’s face got eaten by rats.

This is book three so I would suggest reading the previous two books to understand some of the references and the characters used but that's not totally necessary. It doesn't take long to get to know the characters, especially Enola, with a lot of her first-person dialogue. The fact that Enola guessed the solution because asparagus sounds like a spear of gus which sounds like Augustus which is the name of a guy recently put into an asylum is kinda hilarious to me. It should be in the dislikes, but it’s just so funny and preposterous how she keeps stumbling into clues that I’m gonna put it here. Auch hier wurden wieder recht erwachsene Themen untergebracht mit Referenzen zu den Impfgegnern des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Versorgung psychisch kranker Leute zu dieser Zeit. Ich kann diese Buchreihe also nur empfehlen. Vor allem auch Enolas Wille, ihren Weg zu gehen, alles zu tun, um das durchzusetzen, was ihr wichtig ist und selbst wenn sie sich alleine fühlt, nach vorne zu schauen und nicht aufzugeben, rührt mich jedes Mal wieder sehr! There’s a part where Enola complains that men are idiots and that being beautiful will get you way more attention.Con sus más y sus menos, esta novela se lee en un suspiro y se agradece que en ningún momento se infantilicen los comportamientos de los personajes. A esto hay que sumarle que la autora sabe introducir bien en la trama explicaciones sobre costumbres del siglo XIX en Inglaterra, y aprovecha para hacer una denuncia contra algunas injusticias. En esta ocasión, lo que más se toca es la facilidad para encerrar a alguien es una institución mental, especialmente a mujeres, solo por tener actitudes “reprochables” o poco decoro. No se ahonda en exceso en el asunto, pero se aprenden cosas.
