Perhaps you recognize the last name Holmes in Enola Holmes, Sherlock's younger sister with all the sleuthing abilities, and penchant for getting caught up in adventures. Enola is a heroine for all ages, and Katherine Kellgren's narration fits perfectly in the Sherlock universe. You might also have seen the Netflix trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation.

I hear there is so much to love about this story: old diaries, codebreaking, perilous journeys, Jacobites, a Frenchman, and Katherine Kellgren's narration. If you're a fan of Davina Porter narrating the Outlander series on audio, download this one next. I've enjoyed the handful of Kearsley books I've read so far, and I know that her vivid historical details will come to life on audio. Sit back, listen, and enjoy this compelling story, well-told.
