The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets
When Dr. Watson vanishes, Sherlock Holmes is stumped. But Enola Holmes, still in hiding, finds herself drawn into the mystery by a peculiar bouquet left at Watson's home. The flowers, symbols of death, urge Enola to don a disguise and find the sender before it's too late.
While each mystery is self-contained, the series follows a continuous narrative regarding Enola's efforts to remain hidden from her brothers and her evolving relationship with her mother, making it best to read the books in sequence.
Enola and her mother share a deep knowledge of floriography, which serves as a critical plot device for decoding messages and identifying threats that others overlook.
