A sixteen-year-old girl has been kidnapped for an arranged marriage, and both Enola Holmes and older brother Sherlock are in hot pursuit. Twenty-first-century sensibilities seep into Springer's latest mystery, but her character development shines, as feisty fourteen-year-old Enola explores her feelings about the mother who abandoned her, and her brothers--Sherlock and Mycroft--who want her to "conform to society’s expectations."
