This is the 8th book in the Enola Holmes series.
Enola is the much younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. Her name spelled backwards is “alone” which is how she prefers to live to avoid boarding school. Enola is a precocious and intelligent girl who cringes at the typical expectations of women in her social status. She doesn’t like living in the secluded mansion after her mother leaves on her 14th birthday. She is just as unconventional as her mother not wanting to succumb to the Victorian traditions. To avoid being sent to boarding school, she slips out and finds clever ways to avoid her brothers. Enola finds unique ways of taking care of herself with her many disguises which allows her to help solve mysteries for people. She often finds herself involved in the same cases as her brother Sherlock.
This story finds Enola coming to the rescue of her friend Lady Cecily Alistair who is locked in her room by her father, Sir Eustace Alastair. Of course, this is another case where Enola and Sherlock find themselves working on the same case but from different angles. Catching up to Lady Cecily proves challenging when they learn she has dual personalities: one that is mild and mild while the other independent and in charge. The escapade ensues where Enola and Sherlock look for the elusive Lady Cecily as she tries to make her way alone in London.
