Enola Holmes Books in Order
Every Enola Holmes book in publication order — 9 in total, spanning 2006–2024.
Enola Holmes is the little sister Sherlock and Mycroft never quite knew what to do with — and she's all the more delightful for it. Nancy Springer's teenage heroine is fiercely independent, cipher-cracking, disguise-loving, and every bit as brilliant as her famous brothers, setting herself up in Victorian London as a "perditorian" — a finder of lost people. The books are witty, fast, and quietly feminist, perfect for younger readers and grown-ups alike, and Netflix's films with Millie Bobby Brown sent a whole new generation looking for the source. Here they are in order.

Frequently asked
What order should I read the Enola Holmes books in?
Publication order: The Case of the Missing Marquess (2006), The Case of the Left-Handed Lady, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets, The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline, and The Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye (2010) — followed by the newer titles beginning with Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche (2021).
Is Enola Holmes a real Sherlock Holmes character?
No — Enola is Nancy Springer's original creation, not part of Arthur Conan Doyle's canon. Springer imagined Sherlock and Mycroft with a much younger, equally gifted sister.
Which Enola Holmes book is the Netflix movie based on?
The first film draws mainly from the opening novel, The Case of the Missing Marquess. Reading the series gives you far more of Enola than the movies can fit in.
