There are a couple things about this series that are getting a little tiresome. Enola's constant harping on her looks for one. It just seems out of character. Also, I only need hear how thin and sallow she is once, maybe twice, before I get the point. Also, the mysteries are still really, really wea...

Continuing on with this series and continuing to enjoy it greatly! The series is far from perfect, but it is still just so darn engaging despite any flaws. Funny enough, for a supposed mystery series, I'd say the actually mysteries are pretty weak. They certainly aren't up to the standards of the gr...

This is another great installment in the series I really expected to hate. The only complaint I could have logged about the last book was that the mystery was rather slight, but even that wasn't really a huge problem as the plot and characters still drove the story along quite nicely. Here we have a...

I bought this for the kid a while back. I *certainly* didn't want to read it. One of my least favorite novels of all time was a Holmes knock off. Lucky for me, this year I've been trying to catch up on books that have been languishing unread on my shelves (vs. buying new books to languish).What Spri...

2.5 stars.Okay. Um. Good story. Cute MG mystery.I still love the dynamic between Enola, Sherlock, and now, Mycroft. I love siblings and these three, once they aren't running away from one another and/or threatening to ship Enola off to "finishing school", they are really rather cute.But their stupid...
