In February 1891, Enola Holmes is attending a burial when she hears the sound of a handbell in the graveyard. When she investigates, she discovers that the ringing bell is attached to a tombstone erected over a gravesite and someone is pulling the string to ring the alarm. Enola and her companions unearth the coffin within, and free a young woman named Trevina Trairom. Enola finds herself comforting and protecting this young girl. The girl remembers very little, and has no idea who has buried her alive, or why. Can Enola find the truth about Trevina's past?
This was a great historical cozy mystery filled with scenes that made London in 1891 come alive in my mind. Enola Holmes is a wonderful amateur sleuth similar to her brother, Sherlock. The side characters were dastardly drawn and helped in creating suspense. The plot of this story was very engaging and kept me turning the pages wanting to know what would happen next. I will definitely read more of this series. Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
