Blasco brings all this through along with Enola’s candid, determined and individual personality. Springer’s novel combines puzzles for readers to solve along with Enola and so progress her search, while also being forthright about conditions for women in the early 20 th century and the general levels of poverty. Having assessed the matter, they believe she’s deserted Enola and the family home, but Enola has far more faith in her mother, so begins her own investigation. They’re not much help, bickering with each other, and Mycroft appears more concerned about what happens to the money he supplies for assorted staff who don’t appear to be employed. After all, they have considerably more experience with that sort of thing. When her mother disappears, Enola makes a few enquiries, but soon determines she’ll have to involve the older brothers she’s not seen since she was a young child. The Case of the Missing Marquess is the first of those graphic novels to be issued in English, with The Case of the Left-Handed Lady to follow in 2019.
Ever heard of Enola Holmes, considerably younger sister of Mycroft and Sherlock? Well, between 20 Nancy Springer concocted six young adult novels about her teenage adventures, five of which have now been adapted as graphic novels by Serena Blasco.
