For those waiting, while reading these graphic book adaptations of the young adult novels made into a prominent Netflix movie, for more involvement from the more famous Holmes, this is the volume you want. In An Enola Holmes Mystery: The situation of the Bizarre Bouquets, Enola Holmes has to rescue a kidnapped John Watson from a disturbing, murderous threat.
(This is the third in the series adapted as well as illustrated by Serena Blasco from the novels by Nancy Springer, after The situation of the missing Marquess as well as The situation of the Left-Handed Lady. The other three novels out of the series of six have been turned into comics in French, however there are no plans for IDW/EuroComics to release them as well. These three graphic book hardcovers are likewise currently out of print as well as so going for higher prices, with rate of interest driven by the movie.)
Dr. Watson previously appeared in the second book, as well as here, he’s a motivating absence. While Sherlock Holmes is looking for him, Enola talks with the doctor’s wife, Mrs. Watson, in disguise. This approach, focusing on the women as well as kids left out of the works of the era, is typical of her stories. Her go to enables her to utilize her understanding of the language of flowers, likewise a continuing style in this series, to discover a lead.
Enola’s determination, imagination, as well as cleverness are on full display. This is much more an experience story than a mystery, as Enola stumbles across the villain as well as discovers Dr. Watson by mishap as well as coincidence. It’s an interesting read, though, with some truly weird moments, including a go to to a mental asylum. The pages where Enola’s on the run from the poor guys are especially impressive, with a chase across rooftops. (It concludes with a frankly amazing error on the part of the villains, who understand their greenhouse has been damaged into however don’t bother browsing it, however there is a great offer of suspension of disbelief needed throughout the story.)
Sherlock Holmes, Mrs. Watson, as well as Enola Holmes (in disguise)
There is no motion on the bigger story, of Enola looking for her missing mother, although it’s mentioned. That’s still my biggest issue with the series: we’re supposed to believe that the mom is desirable sufficient for Enola to want her back, however we’re not supposed to be concerned that Enola is living on her own in London without her or other support. Why should we want back a lady who abandons her child so thoughtlessly? I understand it’s just a gadget to allow the girl’s experience tales, however it’s a essential contradiction.
