An entertaining middle-grade read for those who enjoy a younger and female version of Sherlock Holmes. You should for she is both Sherlock’s and Mycroft’s younger sister. In this graphic novel, the drawings are excellent replicas of the actors in Netflix’s Enola Holmes series.
The game is afoot as Enola is at Mycroft’s abode to acquire her mother’s book that he stripped from her as he sent her off to boarding school. As she was going through Mycroft’s flat, she noticed things that make them similar and how they are also different. As she is probing, she suddenly hears Mycroft come in. Shortly after his arrival, some men come in and abduct him.
Regardless of her feelings towards him and how he treats her, she feels an obligation to rescue him. Before Mycroft is abducted, she hears the men question him on what he told Lord Henry Matthews. That is a huge clue and she sets off to the rescue.
Edith makes a very nice but short appearance and while her presence is short, it is still impactful and it’s always wonderful to see her have both a verbal and physical spar with Enola. Also making his appearance is Lord Tewkesbury and a new ally named Shag, they race against time to find her brother.
My only complaint is that it is a bit too short. I would have enjoyed it more if there was more meat and dialogue between the siblings and if we could learn more about the anarchists’ nefarious plot and more emphasis on the why. Speaking of siblings, Sherlock has a very reduced role which was disappointing to me.
This time, her enemy is a group who call themselves ALARM (All London Anarchist Revolutionary Movement). Can she and her friends help save Mycroft in time? Read it and find out.
