Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess: 1 (Enola Holmes Mystery)

Product Information

Book Enola does not have a close relationship with her mother at all. She's basically raised herself. (Although the book gives more details about why Mrs Holmes is sufficiently upset with her sons to disappear.) Having watched (and loved) the Netflix movie adaptation first, the book is very different, but just as great. My middle school sons enjoyed both versions and are looking forward to the rest of the series. She is a very accomplished “villain” and “liar”. A very successful one, rather. Mrs. Holmes, has successfully ruined her offspring’s life and future. Congratulation. Plot: Moderate. Predictable. A bit boring. In certain parts, a bit unrealistic. Quite disappointing. Not smart in the very least. (The code used is too simple, and used to repetitively without any variation.)

Littered through-out the story, also, are the trials and travails of a girl growing up in that time period. The barbaric undergarments, and societal restrictions of the upper-class, but also the more day-to-day horrors of the lower-classes.

She was able to buy a property even though she is under-aged, in disguise and knows nothing of those sorts of things (she lived in the country all her life and was not educated).

What a great start to a new and exciting series. I'll definitely look forward to the next instalment. Highly recommended. Despite being written in this century, the writing has an old-style feeling, and draws heavily on period language. This was a great discussion point for out book club. The book also draws attention to many of the inequities of the time.

There's also a self contained mystery that Enola is soon solving concerning the titular Marquess which only features in the second half of the story. Stowe, William W. (1986).

La trama en el libro es más sencilla porque se centra exclusivamente en la desaparición del marqués, que hace que Enola se olvide un poco de la búsqueda de su madre. Por ese motivo, todo el tema del sufragismo y los derechos de la mujer tampoco tiene la misma presencia que en la adaptación, pero solo es el primer libro y ya hay tintes de ello, así que creo que se seguirá desarrollando en los siguientes.Moreover, I really don’t like the way the author brought up the theme of woman suffrage. The theme is exciting enough. However, I think the author is missing the point. Woman suffrage is about democracy and liberalism. The author seems to confuse this with anarchy. Woman suffrage is about equality and fairness, not lawlessness. The first book felt more like an introduction to who Enola Holmes is. I liked learning more about her, she was quite interesting. It was nice reading about her little schemes and her adventures. I'll admit I had the movie in mind the entire time (which might not have been a great idea). They added so much to the movie. So much of what happened in it didn't really happen in the book so I was sort of looking for more excitement than I got. I enjoyed most of the story but I did feel a little bit underwhelmed. I was definitely expecting more but I think that's completely my own problem. Maybe I would have felt differently if I hadn't seen the movie? MacPherson, Karen (29 May 2007).
