Enola Holmes

 Now streaming on Netflix, "Enola Holmes" tells the story of Enola Holmes, kid sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.

Enola was named by her mother who loved ciphers and word puzzles; "Enola" you see, spells "Alone" backwards. 

Enola, played by Millie Bobbie Brown, is raised by her mother Eudoria, played by Helena Bonham Carter, to be a free spirit, to observe the world, to challenge thoughts, to read every book in their ancestral home, and to be a fierce, independent woman.

All is well in the life of Enola and Eudoria until Enola's sixteenth birthday; that morning she awakes to find that her mother has vanished. Where has her mother gone? Now the sister of the famous sleuth has a mystery of her own to solve.

Enter the Holmes brothers Sherlock, played by Henry Cavill, and Mycroft, played by Sam Claflin. Mycroft is her guardian; he made a bargain with Eudoria for her to care for her for 16 years. At that point, Eudoria pledged that she would leave Enola to her own devices. But why? Where has she gone? Is there foul play afoot?

I am not an avid Sherlock Holmes fan. I only know that Holmes is a master detective that notices details that most of humanity cannot see. And I know he has a brother Mycroft who is his nemesis. Other than that, I'm lost on the world of Holmes. 

That being said, it was a good story with an amazing cast. Now streaming on Netflix, 3 stars.
