Sherlock is experiencing melancholia, so Watson sends for Enola (15yo). While Enola is visiting her brother, a client calls about the suspicious circumstances of her sister’s alleged sudden illness and death. Enola takes the case, hoping it will help Sherlock – and it works!
The case of the black barouche is recounted by Sherlock and Enola to readers. While the antagonist of the story is easier to figure out than I usually like my mysteries, Springer makes the story engaging as Enola and Sherlock untangle the details of how it happened and how to undo what was done. Sherlock is much more level-headed than the fiery Enola, and the execution of their plans is very fun to be part of.
Enola and Sherlock are English, as are the majority of characters they interact with. The mature content rating is for mention of alcohol and mention of nudity. The violence rating is for gun use.
