Sekelumit Tentang Isi
Pada suatu hari di hari ulang tahunnya, Enola Holmes (gadis belasan tahun) menyadari bahwa ibunya sudah menghilang entah kemana. Ada sebagian dari dirinya yang menduga ibunya telah dengan tega meninggalkannya begitu saja, tapi dirinya yang lain percaya bahwa ibunya punya alasan kuat untuk pergi, atau kemungkinan yang terburuk adalah ibunya telah dijahati oleh seseorang.
Enola memutuskan untuk melakukan penyelidikan ke London sendiri setelah Sherlock Holmes dan Mycroft Holmes tampaknya tidak menunjukkan minat dan upaya lebih untuk menyelesaikan kasus ini. Di tengah perjalanan menuju London, Enola malah terlibat kasus penculikan seorang marquess muda. Petualangan penyelidikan ini membawanya pada orang-orang jahat, dermaga kumuh, dan penyekapan di sebuah kapal. Di tengah semua kekacauan itu, akankah Enola dapat memecahkan kode petunjuk yang diperlukan dan menemukan ibunya?
Seputar Fisik Buku dan Disainnya
Sebuah disain sampul yang cocok sekali untuk genre mystery-nya, karena tokoh utamanya, si adik Sherlock ini, masih usia belasan. Bukunya sendiri masuk ke dalam genre teenage mystery atau paling mentok di young adult mystery. Ilustrasi gambar seorang gadis bersepeda jelas mendeskripsikan Enola Holmes yang memang dalam cerita punya sepeda, yang salah satunya dia pakai untuk kabur ke London dalam rangka menyelidiki ibunya yang raib itu. Settingan cerita yang mengambil Inggris jaman dulu dengan segala budayanya yang masih ketat itu, cocok pula diilustrasikan dengan gambar salur-salur meliuk-liuk juga jenis hurufnya, dan tentunya outfit yang Enola kenakan. Nice cover design :)
Tokoh dan Karakter
Enola Holmes
Mycroft Holmes
Sherlock Holmes
Mum Lady Eudoria Holmes
Lord Tweksbury
Madame Laelia Sibyl de Papaver
Inspector Lestrade
Lane & Mrs Lane asisten rumah tangga
Tentu saja Enola Holmes adalah protagonis cerita. Antagonisnya para penjahat di dalam buku. Pembagian peran tokoh baik dan buruk dalam cerita cukup hitam putih. Meski demikian, saya merasa tokohnya cukup dinamis, manusiawi, dan hidup, karena Enola di akhir buku punya perubahan karakter dibanding Enola di awal cerita, yakni Enola yang lebih dewasa.
deskripsi tokoh

Alur dan Latar
Cerita beralur maju cukup cepat. Konflik dan misterinya termasuk ringan sedang, bernuansa petualangan. Selain konflik misteri, ada pula konflik batik tokoh utama. Pov orang pertama (Enola). Ending termasuk bahagia, tapi menurut saya tidak begitu tertutup a.k.a masih menyisakan tanda tanya.
Mengambil latar Inggris tahun 1888, Nancy Springer sukses menghidupkan Inggris jaman dulu itu. Deskripsi lokasi yang ada di cerita juga detail di bagian-bagian tertentu, misalnya kamar ibunya Enola yang menghilang tanpa jejak itu.
Mum had made this room a sanctuary of the artistic spirit. Panels of Japanese lotus-patterned silk dressed the windows, drawn back to let in the light upon slender furnishings of maple wood carved to resemble bamboo, very different from the hulking dark mahogany in the parlour. Down there all the wood was varnished, heavy serge draped the windows, and from the walls stared grim oil portraits of ancestors, but here in my mother s domain the wood had been painted white, and on pastel walls hung a hundred delicate watercolours: Mum s airy, lovingly detailed renditions of flowers, each picture no larger than a sheet of writing paper, lightly framed.

Yang menarik dan atau disuka dari Buku ini
I knew that hat. Meant to be military in apprearance, resembling an upside-down flowerpot, it was sometimes, by the vulgar, called three-storeys-and-a-basement.
“and she carried her walking umbrella.”
A long black implement meant to be used like a cane, as sturdy as a gentleman's stick.
How odd that my mother should go out with a mannish umbrella, a mannish hat, yet swishing that most flirtatious feminine tail, a bustle.
Page 24
There, Lane and Mrs. Lane swooped upon me like a pair of turtledoves upon the nest, he plucking sopping coat and umbrella and boots from me, she hustling me towards the kitchen to get warm. While it was not her place to scold me, she made her views plain. “A person would have to be simple minded to stay out in the rain for hours on end,” she told the big coal-burning stove as she levered one of its lids off. “Don't matter whether a person is common or aristocrat, if a person catches a chill, it could kill her.” This to the teakettle she was placing on the stove. “Consumption is no respecter of persons or circumstances.” To the tea canister. There was no need for me to respond, for she wasn't talking to me. She would not have been permitted to say anything of the sort to me. “It's all very well for a person to be of an independent mind without going looking for quinsy or pleurisy or pneumonia or worse.” To the teacups. Then she turned to face me, and her tone also about-faced. “Begging your pardon, Miss ...

I remember Dr. Watson's listing of my brother's accomplishments: scholar, chemist, superb violinist, expert marksman, swordsman, singlestick fighter, pugilist, and brilliant deductive thinker.
Then I formed a mental list of my own accomplishments: able to read, write, and do sums; find birds’s nests; dig worms and catch fish; and, oh yes, ride a bicycle.

More slowly I wrote another note, one that would soon wing for miles via wire to be printed out by a teletype machine as:
LADY EUDORIA VERNET HOLMES MISSING SINCE YESTERDAY
STOP PLEASE ADVICE STOP ENOLA HOLMES
I directed this wire to Mycroft Holmes, of Pall Mall, in London.
And also, the same message, to Sherlock Holmes, of Baker Street, also in London.
My brothers.
Page 14
Selain Sherlock dan Mycroft, ada juga tokoh lainnya yang dimunculkan di buku ini, yakni Inspector Lestrade.
In a rather high-pitched voice he went on. “I am an acquaintance of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. My name is Lestrade.”
“How do you do.” I did not offer to shake hands.
...
This snoop would tell Sherlock he had met me, and under what circumstances, at his first opportunity. No, worse! As an inspector for Scotland Yard, at any minute he might receive a wire concerning me. I had to get away before that happened. He seemed suspicious of me already. I had to distract Inspector Lestrade from inspecting me.

Parting the velvet drapes to admit light from the windows, I threw open the wardrobe doors, then stood trying to make sense of the jumble of clothing inside: wool, worsted, muslin, and cotton but also damask, silk, tulle, and velvet. Mum was, you see, very much a free thinker, a woman of character, a proponent of female suffrage and dress reform, including the soft, loose, Aesthetic gowns advocated by Ruskin – but also, whether she liked it or not, she was a squire's widow, with certain obligations. So there were walking costumes and “rationals” but also formal visiting dresses, a low-necked dinner dress, an opera cloak, and a ball gown – the same rusty-purple one Mum had worn for years; she did not care whether she was in fashion. Nor did she throw anything away. There were the black “widow's weeds” she had worn for a year after my father's demise. There was a bronze-green habit left over from her fox-hunting days. There was her grey caped pavement-sweeping suit for city wear. ..
Page 21
In the morning I brushed my hair a full one hundred strokes, trying to render it glossy, then tied it back with a white ribbon to match my frock – girls of the upper classes must wear white, you know, to show every fleck of dirt. I wore my newest, least soiled frock, with very nice white lace pantalets below, and the traditional black stockings with black boots, freshly polished by Lane.
Page 26
Legally, the money was neither Mother's nor mine. But morally – many, many times Mum had explained to me how unfair the laws were. If a woman laboured to write and publish a book, for instance, any money it earned was supposed to go to her husband. How absurd was that?
Page 82
Ada layout khusus di bagian narasi misteri. Sesuai dengan disain sampulnya yang 'meliuk-liuk itu', jenis huruf yang digunakan di bagian ini pun demikian.
Why did Mum not take me with her?
If she had any distance to travel, why did she not use the bicycle?
Why did she dress so oddly?
Why did she not leave by the gate?
If she struck out across country, on foot,
Where she was going?

Rekomendasi
Novel ini saya rekomendasikan kepada pembaca yang mencari cerita detektif - misteri untuk kategori usia remaja dan dewasa muda yang konfliknya tidak terlalu pelik, ada unsur petualangannya, tokoh utamanya wanita, adiknya Sherlock Holmes, tidak jenius deduksi seperti kakaknya, tapi punya kemampuan juga yang berbeda cara dan pendekatannya. Berlatarkan Inggris tahun 1888 yang hidup, kisah Enola Holmes sukses membawa kita seolah berada di tahun-tahun tersebut. Narasinya renyah dan terselip humor di sana sini.
