I found this to be the weakest of the series. In particular, I found it hard to believe that after being untreated for so long that a person could still be immunized against rabies.

Another Goodreads Giveaway win, I never thought I’d win one, much less two! So, my sincerest thanks to Wednesday Books for providing an ARC!

I love when actual people of a book’s time period make appearances, especially when it’s so cleverly done. Interactions between Enola and Sherlock are becoming more frequent and my goodness, they are so witty and smart. I can’t wait for the day when Sherlock knocks on Enola’s door and asks her for help, imagine what a fun adventure that will be!

Enola is a strong, independent, and insanely intelligent woman who I can’t wait for my daughters to know.

Netflix introduced me to Enola Holmes and ever since I’ve been thrilled with her existence. I adore this character and the wild situations she finds herself in as she insists on solving mysteries in a time when this was not something that women did. This one focuses on rabies and the creation of the vaccine. It really hones in on how the vaccine was a lifesaver - literally. It was such a solid story and I really enjoyed it.
