This was definitely more complicated than the first book, but still a solid book.

Another fun mystery book to read. Enola Holmes outsmarts her brother once again.

Entretenido, pero sin duda me resultó algo más lento que el primero. La dinámica de los hermanos Holmes es muy interesante, pero en este casoel misterio me resultó algo flojo y rebuscado hasta cierto punto.
saloniporwal's review against another edition
I've had a crazy journey with this series, starting from the 7th book, then rewatching the first movie adaptation, then the second, and then finally starting the series from the start. I've just started the 6th novel and I've been binging on the books, it's so addictive. So, I haven't reviewed all of the books but with this book being adapted to a movie along with the first, I'd like to compare my experiences with both.
To quickly go over some basic differences (I am stating facts as in the novels)- Enola is 14 not 16; Enola doesn't meet her mother at all, nor has she ever been very close with her; she and Tewksbury don't have a romantic relationship (he doesn't even appear in the second novel); Enola is Mycroft's ward not Sherlock's. A huge difference that I loved was how Enola though in constant awe of Sherlock just as determinedly flees her brothers (going through crazy and sometimes hilarious troubles to keep them at arm's length) whenever she encounters them. To me, it's wonderful how Enola is fully independent in the books, having learnt to be wary of everyone and staying incognito.
There's so much more to be said for this series but I'll get back to my reading for now :)
