Enola Holmes is hiding from the world’s most famous detective—her own brother, Sherlock Holmes. But when she discovers a hidden cache of bold, brilliant charcoal drawings, she can’t help but venture out to find who drew them: young Lady Cecily, who has disappeared from her bedroom without a trace. Braving midnight streets where murderers roam, Enola must unravel the clues—a leaning ladder, a shifty-eyed sales clerk, political pamphlets—but in order to save Lady Cecily from a powerful villain, Enola risks revealing more than she should . . .

In her follow-up to The Case of the Missing Marquess, which received four starred reviews, two-time Edgar Award winner Nancy Springer brings us back to the danger and intrigue of Victorian London as she continues the adventures of one of the wittiest and most exciting new heroines in today’s literature.

Another fabulous book! Enola Holmes is on her own now. Helping the poor, disguises, and now...hiding from her brother? Sherlock is looking for her-but Enola's clever. Enola knows that she must stay hidden and find her mother. But when she hears about Lady Cecily, who had suddenly disappeared, Enola pauses her search on her mother and starts investigating Lady Cecily's disappearance. When investigating Lady Cecily's room, she notices some very particular things. Drawings, ciphers, and odd placement. Can Enola not get caught by her brother and find Lady Cecily? Happy reading!

action-packed and super interesting. I love the plot twist

This book was great and I really liked it. This book was slightly better than the first one. In this book she is working for the person that she made up, Mr. Ragostin. She is disguised as Ivy Meshle.
