Enola Holmes is shocked to learn that her landlady, Mrs. Tupper, has been kidnapped by two gentlemen. Enola's investigation leads her to the elderly Florence Nightingale who had nursed Mrs. Tupper's husband during the Crimean War. Mr. Tupper did not survive his wounds leaving his wife to return home alone wearing some borrowed clothing from Miss Nightingale. Mrs. Tupper had kept the dress and crinoline for now more than 40 years never realizing that there was an important clue hidden in the garment. The two kidnappers only knew that Mrs. Tupper was holding an secret message "for the bird". Enola will need all her wits to find the missing landlady, and to stay out of the clutches of her well-meaning but demanding older brother, Sherlock Holmes.

This is such a fun series featuring a fearless, plucky young girl. Her affection for Mrs. Tupper is a substitute for Enola's longing for her absent mother. The cat and mouse game she plays with Sherlock in every book is amusing.
