The book opens with Dr. Watson trapped in an insane asylum. They won’t believe that he is who he says he is, and there’s no way for him to leave. It’s clear that once money exchanges hands, the “patient” is in there for good, unless someone rescues them. Enola muses throughout the novel on how easy it is to be committed to an asylum—all it takes is a man with money and a doctor’s signature. It’s an easy and acceptable way to get rid of an inconvenient wife since divorce is scandalous. Violence The villain is a mentally ill woman. I dislike this in general, because it’s easy for authors to use this as an excuse for a flawed plot: it doesn’t have to make sense, because the villain’s crazy! It also makes for gruesome scenes. And yes, this book has them. The lady’s face got eaten by rats.As is typical, coded messages play a central role. Toward the end, there’s a coded message that isn’t decrypted for the reader immediately. Enola as the narrator asks the reader to wait until she reveals the message, even though certainly we could figure out the coded message. I wonder how many young readers who hadn’t before bothered to play with the encryptions took the time to figure that one out? It’s a fun way to draw the reader in a little deeper.

Afferrate la vostra lente d'ingrandimento e tuffatevi con me in questa nuova avventura ricca di pericoli e mistero, signori: stiamo per essere coinvolti ancora una volta nei guai della famiglia più in gamba e problematica d'Inghilterra: gli Holmes. Ich bin mir auch noch nicht ganz sicher, ob es von der Autorin eine gute Idee war, die Auflösung des Falls um den verschwundenen Dr. Watson im ersten Kapitel schon zu verraten oder nicht. Der Vorteil war, dass ich als Leser immer wusste, ob Enola auf der richtigen Spur ist oder nicht. A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls. The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets is the third book in the Enola Holmes series. Even if you are unfamiliar with this series, you might be able to deduce that Miss Enola is the younger sister of the famous detective. After her mother’s disappearance, Enola runs away from home and has been living in London. She has her own detective business, and solves mysteries in between evading her brothers and trying to figure out what happened to her mother.

It is difficult to choose a new name for oneself. Even more difficult, than choosing a name for a child, for one is confusingly intimate with oneself, whereas one is barely acquainted with a baby upon its arrival. Enola es un personaje entrañable que aquí va ganando más seguridad en sí misma y que debe decidir si vale la pena hacer peligrar su libertad para salvar a otra persona. Vemos cómo sigue queriendo aprender a ser totalmente independiente y cómo, al mismo tiempo, añora que se preocupen por ella, algo que no resulta molesto porque la humaniza y hace que sea un personaje creíble dadas sus circunstancias y su edad. A pesar de todo, la he notado más madura que en los libros anteriores.
