The Case Of The Cryptic Crinoline is my favorite Enola Holmes book by Nancy Springer so far, and well deserved the Edgar Award nomination it got for for Best Juvenile.

'Andrew Scott revealed his accomplishments have been bittersweet since the death of his mother last month.
In March, the TV actor announced his beloved mum Nora had tragically died after a short illness, just days before they had planned to celebrate Mother's Day together. She passed away at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin while being surrounded by her loved ones.
The star - who features in a new Netflix adaption of The Talented Mr. Ripley from Patricia Highsmith - - has now paid tribute to Nora whom he still mourns and said: "She was the source of practically every joyful thing in my life."
The Fleabag star, 47, shared his sorrow following his recent loss and says he's managing each day as it comes. "Well, you know, you have to — life goes on, you manage it day by day," he told The Sunday Times.
"It’s very recent, but I certainly can say that so much of it is surprising and unique, and there is so much that I will be able to speak about at some point." Scott went on to reveal that he has been trying to keep himself busy and remain positive.
Andrew has received numerous accolades due to his on-screen performances, including a BAFTA Television Award and two Laurence Olivier Awards, and has previously been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards.
More recently, the star went on to collect a Critics’ Circle Theatre award for his performance in the West End show Vanya. Scott confessed that his mother had inspired him to experiment with fashion. "My mother was an art teacher, she was obsessed with all sorts of design,' he recalled. 'She loved jewellery and jewellery design.
"Anything that is visual, tactile, painting, drawing, is a big passion of mine, so I have tremendous respect for the creativity of designers."
Nora - who was mother to Sarah, Andrew, and Hannah - appeared to be one of Scott's biggest supporters and would often visit him while he worked on set. However, six years before her sad passing, Nora revealed that she was sent a stunning bouquet of roses after she informed Anthony Hopkins that she was ill.
During a meeting with the actor on the set of King Lear, in which Andrew played Edgar, she informed him that she was unwell and Anthony went out of his way to cheer her up. Speaking on RTÉ, she told Ryan Tubridy: "There was probably more than three dozen red roses and attached to them was a little card from Anthony saying 'Be well, sending hugs', and all sorts of things.
"I was thrilled to get such a gift and for the kind thought that promoted it. Now I have recovered, I can enjoy these exquisite roses that grace our hall. It was such a beautiful gift" which came after Andrew and his All of Us Strangers co-star Paul Mescal revealed that they were not fond of the idea of their parents seeing the movie.'

I don't need to act things out in order to write them. I have what we like to call an imagination. You ever heard of that? Oh no no no no no, please tell us more about the Old Man...
...and the boat.
