I understand the reason these are so popular - light, easy to read and imaginative.

Summary:
Enola Holmes has begun to make a bit of a reputation for herself. Her name may not be as well known as her brothers, but she's solved more than her fair share of mysteries. She's also made friends along the way—friends who may just be in danger.
Lady Cecily Alastair is a client-turned-friend. She was in danger previously, thanks to her dastardly father, and it seems like she has fallen under his care once again. It is up to Enola to step in and save the day, as the law is, unfortunately, on the father's side.
Review:
This is the second Enola Holmes novel I've read (yes, I haven't been reading in order, bad me!), and I am utterly charmed. Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade is another fun addition to the series. Best of all, even though it clearly involves characters previously introduced, it is easy to jump on in and enjoy.
I love how independent young Enola Holmes is. It must be SO hard to grow up in the shadows of her brothers, but she's doing more than making the best of it. She's making a name for herself – and doing it despite their best efforts to stop her.
As one might expect, Enola is sharp, quippy, and brilliant. She's a fun character to read, and her adventures are perfect for readers of all ages (love that). This latest mystery felt even more Victorian than the last, as it is a poignant reminder of how much time can change our views.

A fun, if ultimately not completely unsatisfying penultimate entry in the series. I really enjoyed the previous two books which featured Lady Cecily, but this one fell a little flat for me. As always, I loved the relationship between Enola and Sherlock, it’s so nice to see that they’ve reached a place where they can be friends as well as siblings. I enjoyed getting more from Lady Vienna as well, it’s a shame she won’t seemingly be in the final book.

*I have received this ARC in exchange for my honest review*
This might be not only my favorite in the Enola Holmes series, but my favorite book so far this year. I throughly enjoyed the adventure that Enola went on this time around and loved seeing past characters come back. The relationship that Enola has developed with Cecily is adorable to read about, it was really cool to see the comparison to Cecily and Enola from the first book.
I also want to read more adventures with her and her brother together! I love when they get to work together and I really hope we get to see that relationship develope even further if Nancy writes any future books.
The added character of Lady Vienna was also a joy to read. Having one of Enola's mother's friends in the story was really intriguing. It was also really awesome to see how women's rights were playing a role in the story.
I really do hope Nancy Springer continues to write more Enola Holmes books because, they are not only getting better with each book (especially with character development) but because I just am not ready to leave the world of Enola Holmes quite yet.
