Puffin Books The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye: An Enola Holmes Mystery

Excellent book. Interesting and good quality. My daughter likes reading.

シリーズ最後の１冊の翻訳版が出ないので、仕方なく英語で読みました。エノーラのお母さんのことが物語の中で出てきたので登場するのかと思っていましたが彼女については予想外の結末でした。残念でした。エノーラと２人の兄との関係は改善されますので彼女の将来は明るいと思います。行方不明の侯爵夫人を探すのが本作品のメインです。

I had been putting off reading this for so long, because I was so sad that it was the last. But, I finally could not wait any longer so I went ahead and decided to read it. I just cannot say enough about this series and the movie. Ohhhh, this one was amazing, but it was really sad....I love this series soooooo much. Enola is such a fun and amazing character, I love her soooo much. I love this whole series sooo much!!! All the books are amazing and so mysterious, suspensful, thrilling, and just downright plain old fun. Some of the best mysteries I've ever read. (Or watched for that matter). I first watched the movie, then I loved it soo much so I decided to read the series. It is amazing and I highly recommend the movie and the whole six book series! At first I thought that this one was the last book:( But, then I saw that there is another book coming out in August 2021! It is called "Enola Holmes and the Black Baruche!" You cannot imagine my utter surprise and excitement! Thank you soooo much Nancy Springer! I already have it pre-ordered and am highly anticipating its release! And I soo hope there is going to be a second movie! Anyway. I highly recomend the movie and this series, and after you watch the movie and finish the series order or pre-order the new book!! I highly recommend!!!!!! Do it now;););)

This is the 6th and final book in the series of period comic mysteries featuring Sherlock Holmes' younger sister Enola. Beginning the series here would completely spoil the overall story arc which would be a shame since it is quite an entertaining read.Once again Enola finds herself working on the same case as her older brother Sherlock. A beautiful young woman, the cherished wife of a Spanish Duke has mysteriously disappeared. The young woman had rather inexplicable ventured into an Underground Tube station and vanished. Meanwhile Sherlock and Mycroft are still in pursuit of Enola, coming increasingly closer and Enola finds herself beginning to despair of ever finding her mother. Gradually all three threads of the story meet and are resolved tying up all the lose ends left dangling throughout the series.According to the publishers these books are written for ages 8 and up. I disagree. The reading level might be accessible to some 8 year olds much of the subject matter is too mature, at least in my opinion, for children that young. There are descriptions of Victorian life that are too harsh for young children and more suited for those a couple years older at least. The books are quite well written with plots complex enough to engage an adult reader making these a good choice to spark a family discussion.

This final Enola Holmes mystery finally answers the question that has been hovering beneath all the other stories: where is Enola's mother? It also has Enola looking for Lady Blanchefleur del Campo who disappeared one day into London's new underground.Sherlock is also looking for Enola but, this time, it is because a strange package has been delivered to their family home for her. Sherlock has moderated his goal for Enola too. After being educated by Florence Nightingale in the previous book about the horrors of proper boarding schools, he is rethinking his plans for Enola's future. However, Mycroft is the one with legal authority over Enola and his thinking about her future hasn't changed.Again this book has a cipher that has to be decoded, disguises aplenty, and lots of adventure in Victorian England. It also has a maturing Enola and a new relationship for her with her much older brothers.This was a satisfying conclusion to an excellent historical mystery series.
