Description Supposing Books The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan (Enola Holmes #4)
I will come right out and admit that I definitely allowed myself to picture a particular Mr. Cumberbatch throughout the Sherlock cameos in this story, which had me laughing quite heartily. I loved the scenes that Sherlock shared with Enola, the sibling relationship was humorous and tense, quite realistic given their difference in age. Again, I was impressed with how clever and thoughtful Enola was, always thoroughly thinking things through before launching off. That doesn't mean she doesn't improvise, but she is never impulsive. This particular case was equal parts funny and infuriating, but it all wrapped up quite well. Good job, Enola!Declare Books In Pursuance Of The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan (Enola Holmes #4)

Cecily leaves Enola a pink fan with clues hidden upon it regarding her present, and intolerable situation, in the hopes that Enola will be able to rescueI don't know. I guess maybe I'm over this series already. While I liked this one better than the third book, I'm still really irked by the fact that so much of Enola's success relies on chance and coincidence. She'd be a much stronger heroine if that weren't the case. Additionally, parts of this felt a little too didactic, the way the historical fiction can sometimes slip into - "and now I will educate you bluntly about life in this time period." Bleh.But, the central story is compelling enough
