ENOLA HOLMES (REVIEW)

When Enola Holmes—Sherlock’s teen sister—discovers her mother missing, she sets off to find her, becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother and unravels a dangerous conspiracy around a mysterious young Lord.

From then on, it’s up to you. There’s always a loose objective to pursue, butNew Horizons is a lifelike slowburn. Shops have normal opening hours, and ifNook says the bridge...
