Enola Holmes: The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline

Book 5 of 6: The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline

["Enola's landlady, Mrs. Tupper, is the closest thing Enola has to family these days, besides her occasional run-ins with her brother Sherlock. Even though Mrs. Tupper is nearly deaf and can barely cook, she's an endearing presence as Enola longs for her absent mother. So imagine her horror when Enola comes home to find Mrs. Tupper kidnapped! Who would take her, and why? And what does Florence Nightingale have to do with it?"]

How best to add even more feminist/suffragette viewpoints (and to further influence young readers--and Sherlock Holmes--in gender equality--as well as inequality) than to add one of the most famous female minds of all time? Florence Nightingale. 

I mean seriously. This book as a whole is magnificent. But the epilogue!? I wish I could gush and gush about it, but gushing and gushing about it (about how fucking amazing and transformative it was--Florence Nightingale teaching Sherlock Holmes about gender inequality in the Victorian Era (I sound like I'm describing some weird fanfic, but this is a real book, people!)) might/will spoil the plot. So do yourself a favor and read it. Like tomorrow/today/yesterday.
