In his wickedly brilliant first novel, Debut Dagger Award winner Alan Bradley introduces one of the most singular and engaging heroines in recent fiction: Eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950 - and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia’s family calls home. A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath.

Publisher's Summary
Two-time recipient of the Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Mystery, New York Times best-selling author Nancy Springer is known for her beloved Tales of Rowan Hood, her award-winning Arthurian novels, and her critically acclaimed The Case of the Missing Marquess - the first of her compelling mysteries starring the precocious sister of Sherlock Holmes.
Editorial Review
Living alone in a dangerous London, Enola is trying desperately to evade her brothers, who would have her sent to a finishing school for girls to live out a proper life as a lady. Instead, she becomes an assistant to the mysterious Dr. Ragostin, a finder of lost people. But the elusive doctor never seems to be available, and it is up to Enola to solve the disappearance of young Lady Cecily. Enola is wary of revealing more than she should while working as a detective, so under the shroud of clever disguises, she discovers a world of dark and perplexing clues she will need to follow to solve her most significant case yet.
The Case of the Left-Handed Lady is the second book in the electrifying Enola Holmes mystery series. This thrilling mystery series written by Nancy Springer is a treasure trove of adventure and fascinating characters for young listeners to discover while delving into the world of audiobooks. With ten books already available in the Edgar Award-nominated series, including Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets, The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, and The Case of the Gypsy Good-bye, this young adult series is a bestseller for a reason. Brought to life by the acclaimed narrator Katherine Kellgren, these incredible characters jump off the page and into listeners’ minds, much like the original and iconic Sherlock Holmes works by Arthur Conan Doyle.
This inspired two smash hit Netflix films starring Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown as Enola and featuring the legendary Helena Bonham Carter. This captivating series has cemented its place as a refreshing new take on the legendary Sherlock Holmes mythos.

Kellgren was great!
The mystery and the underlying themes of female independence and class struggles are strong, but somewhere along the way the attitude towards poor people (especially men) gets twisted into something a little toxic. Katherine Kellgren is a spectacular narrator.

Spectacular and enjoyable...
Katherine Kellgren is a fantastic artist, I enjoyed her narratoratuon immensely. This my second book and I will probably go through to the 3rd, as long as Ms. Kellgren is narratoring. A remarkable book, filled with intrigue and mystery.
Very enjoyable

Fantastic story but definitely PG-13
I got this story for my 8 year old since it was in the kids section. There were many college level words and Old English prose that were hard for her to understand. Then the story takes a dark and sinister turn so I stopped the recording for her and resumed listening by myself. I loved the unexpected villian and all the tension wondering whether Sherlock's sister was going to be discovered. I will listen to more with my 13 year old. Excellent writing, performance, and drama, just not for little ears.

Brilliant, imaginative, original, and....fun!
Any additional comments?
Nancy Springer deserves much credit. The concept of a 'Sherlock Holmes Younger Sister' young adult genre could have been as dull, vapid, and predictable as -- sorry -- the old 'Nancy Drew' serials.
But Ms. Springer has created a genuinely inspired character of depth, passion, emotion, and isn't afraid to make her fallible and and occasionally unlikeable -- in other words, a believable fourteen-year-old girl.
While Enola can be a bit unlikeable at times, overall she is a magnificent, resonant character, easily as fascinating as her older brother, or brothers, to be precise, even if Mycroft doesn't appear all that often in Conan-Doyle's canonical tales.It's also impossible not to admire the detail and significant differences that a female point of view in Victorian England that Springer has decorated the tale with. It was such a male-dominate society that one forgets that females were little more than property of men, who generally had little regard for the distaff's intelligence, reasoning ability, or even sense of moral purpose. As we watch Enola, and -- vicariously -- her mother try to navigate these murky waters, I can't help but admire both female Holmes 'alternate' use of the imprisoning foundation garments of the day, the bustle, corset, and other various 'dress enhancers' to better, and frankly brilliant, purposes.
In this, Book the Second (to borrow Ms. Springer's chapter headings), Enola becomes somewhat more settled with the idea of 'doing quite well on her own', to use her mother's turgid phrase. This book flows more easily, inevitable as so much of the first book had so much unavoidable 'back story'. And readers may possibly be interested that this polishing and honing continue in the following books; they simply get better and better.
The performance by Katherine Kellgren is spot-on, as well. Her fine sense of timing, and of pitch, pacing and her excellent grasp of accents from Home Counties, to Eatonian, to East End Cockney was lovely, quite entertaining, and there was never any doubt as to whom was speaking. Brilliant!
While this novel may be directed towards a young adult market, it is so multilayered that adults will enjoy it as much as the teenaged reader. As I said at the beginning, Nancy Springer has a magnificent achievement in this book. She is an ornament to the writing profession.
However, I'm afraid that she has made a series so genuinely gripping that she might have to keep producing them for her eager audience. So please, Ms. Springer -- keep Enola away from Reichenbach Falls.

It's hard for me to visualize anagram/number puzzles when listening to books. That made the book a chore for me.

Fun story--even for adults
Any additional comments?
A fun tale and innovative twist on the ubiquitous Sherlock Holmes stories. Katherine Kellgren--best narrator in the business.The writer does a great job of taking the reader through the foggy streets of Victorian London. Characters are realistic but this story would not be as good if it weren't for the genius narration by Ms Kellgren

Entertaining, a good ride, well-done
This book is solid but not for adults looking for a tricky mystery. It's completely unbelievable and the mystery isn't one the reader can unravel before Enola. But I don't care about that - I wasn't expecting more than a rollicking kids' adventure, which it is. I have been needing this sort of escape right now and it fits the bill. No 5 stars because it doesn't hit the magic of truly excellent kids' books or the performances where you can't help but wanting to keep listening. Solid and entertaining, and I like that it brings in some women's history.

Plucky
I am just loving these tales. This series is for adults who enjoy fun as well as teens. Don't really think its all that appropriate for under 12's as some of the scenes are gory or stuff to make you a bit sick. Great details from the time period though.
Love how Enola plunders along learning as she goes. She's naive about lot of city ways, but seems to always land on her feet and not need help from a man all that often. She is growing in the ways of perditoria (spelling) and life.
Anything narrated by K Kellgren is fabulous in my book.

Great Read
To hear that Sherlock may have a much younger sister that actually has a intellectual mind similar to his. To find a teen who has such compassion for others while trying to be free of the constraining obligations of Victorian society.
As a Sherlockian, I am enjoying this series.

Scary, compelling story
This was a story that I had to keep on listening too. I found it, even as an adult, really quite scary at times and there was an incredible tension running through the book. I like the depiction of Enola’s personal struggles here. The real sadness and fear. She’s a more multidimensional character than the film Enola, and more relatable. I find the narrator lacks depth when it comes to some of the ‘common’ people and the ‘baddies’. They end up with comic book voices that too often sound alike.
