Commentary In Favor Of Books The Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye (Enola Holmes #6)
Overall I really enjoyed this book and this whole series. They were quick, well written, fairly educational books with a fun character that I liked. There was only one tiny detail that kind of bothered me though. The books (especially this one) felt overly feminist to the point where I felt like it was saying that being a wife and or mother is far inferior to being a well educated woman who actually makes a difference in the world and isn't held back by a family, particularly by children. It was like it was saying, yeah, being a Mom is fine for some, but you can do so much better.I guess I've been noticing that attitude a lot in young adult lit lately but it really seems to push it in this book. I am a mom, a stay at home mom at that, and I guess I get a little defensive with this attitude. I would have loved these books as a teen and loved Enola's independent nature. I will be happy to share them with my girls when they are old enough, but I hope that too much of these kinds of books won't give them the idea that being a mom is as bad as going to prison or consigning yourself to a life of misery.

A satisfying end to the series, even if I wish it would go on and on! I so enjoyed Enola Holmes, especially with Katherine Kellgren narrating her. The mystery in this one was not as strong as those in previous books, but that's because a lot of the story was focused on Enola's relationship with Sherlock and Mycroft, and finding out what happened to her mother. I loved the way things were left between them, only wish there were more books in the series!Final book of Enola Holmes and her battle for independance...Year has passed since Enola ran from home after her mother left her but also leaves her means to be free and independent, leaving her money she saved for years. In this series Springer showed us world of London underground, lower and upper classes, fashion, Suffragetes movement, history characters and how to be free. Enola is heroine of 14 years in late 19 century but almost at that age girls are geting married and poorer ones worked
I really enjoy this series! However, parents, please be forewarned, mum is dead and it is just laid out there for consumption (I listened to the book) plain as can be.
When Enola is hired to find a missing Duquessa, she has some cause for consternation. Not only did the lady disappear on Baker Street, not far from her brother's home, but the frantic husband has also employed Sherlock Holmes. Avoiding him might prove impossible. (Much to every readers' delight.)Hansom cabs and underground trains. Ladies-in-waiting and lace handkerchiefs. Palmistry and pets. Cameos and curtain calls. In this finale to the Enola Holmes series, Springer masterfully brings us full
The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye is the conclusion to the Enola Holmes mystery series. I enjoyed this series very much. In the final installment, Enola is found by her much older brother, Sherlock when he brings a mysterious letter to her. The letter was sent to their family estate, Ferndell, and was addressed to Enola. A drawing on the front of the envelope was clearly done by Enola's mother, who went missing nearly a year ago. As usual for the elder Lady Holmes, the letter inside was in the form

Being a fan of Sherlock Holmes from early in life (around the age of 8) when I first read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I have always been interested in the different takes on the world of Mr. Holmes. From films to books. Some have been well done, others not so much. The Enola Holmes series was a surprising delight to read. Nancy Springer gave life to one of the most interesting characters I have come across in some time in the sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. She is intelligent,
