Enola Holmes bests older brother Sherlock once again after discovering that a vengeful patient whisked Dr. Watson away to an insane asylum. Springer's mystery whips along, her heroine's "syrupy young woman" disguise providing comic relief. Enola is her usual smart and spunky self here, continuing to dodge her supposed destiny as "an ornament for genteel society" in 1880s London.
