I love how Sherlock is woven into the story, Enola's exploration of what it means to be mothered and Florence Nightingale! So good.

The addition of Florence Nightingale, and her depiction, made it a 5-star. Believable and also entertaining.

Delightful storyline and incorporation of history, but a bit too easy to figure out.

I adore this series. Enola Holmes is an amazing heroine and her spunky attitude makes her easy to love. This book is another great entry in the series. It reminds me of the best tv shows out there - there's the plot for this episode, but you also get a few clues about the main story arc concerning Enola's mother and Enola's relationship with Sherlock. Cannot wait for book #6!!!

This mystery was delightful, and totally original. I had my doubts about how well Nancy Springer could incorporate an iconic historical figure like Florence Nightingale into Enola's world, but she did so with flair and credibility, and I enjoyed the twisty and unusual story very much.
