This is the sixth in the Enola Holmes (the much younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft) series.  I've read the others, but this is the first I've read with my seven-year-old.  I usually like the storyline and characters, but am always taken slightly aback at the occasional reference to "ladies of the night" or similar things.  Fiona enjoyed this one and is ready to go back and read the rest of the series.
