Episode 40: Enola Holmes

February 02, 2021

Because of a family emergency we had to change the order of our episodes. The Blackcoat’s Daughter will now be part of our February line up. 


In this episode we look at the 2020 Netflix Mystery Enola Holmes. Directed by Harry Bradbeer, screenplay by Jack Thorne, based on the first book in the young adult fiction series of the same name by Nancy Springer, Starring Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, and Helena Bonham Carter.


To get us started here is a synopsis, 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.


Trigger Warnings for this episode are: some violence and scary scenarios. 


We depend on all of you, our wonderful listeners, to help others find the show. Please take a minute to rate and review us on whatever platform you use to listen. 


We now have a bookshop! Any purchase though our bookshop will not only support us but also independent bookstores. The link is on our website www.fatalfemmespodcast.com
