Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets (Enola Holmes #3)
Everyone knows Dr. Watson is Sherlock Holmes' right-hand man - so when he goes missing, it's a shock. Even Sherlock hasn't, well, the slightest clue as to where he could be. Enola is intrigued, but weary; she's still hiding from her older brothers - and getting involved could be disastrous. But when a bizarre bouquet shows up at the Watson residence, full of convolvulus, hawthorn, and white poppies, Enola must act. She dons her most discerning disguise yet to find the sender - and quickly, for Enola knows the blossoms symbolize death! Hold your breath, because Enola's about to take it away. The stakes are higher and the mystery deeper than ever before in this third installment of this Edgar Award nominated, critically acclaimed series.

Enola Holmes only met her brother Sherlock's friend and chronicler a few times, but she was favorably impressed by his kind manner and fatherly air.

I'm wholly enthralled with this series. Quick-paced and clever. Absolutely a favorite!These books are just fun. I keep reading them in a day, but they're built for speed and for entertainment.

Sweet god, how I love these books! Sorry. Thats not something a professional reviewer should start off by saying is it? I should probably be coy about my opinions. I should couch my language with faint praise saying sniffy little things like, It seems that Ms. Springer has truly found an oeuvre that will suit some out there.
