　　如今，即使是福爾摩斯也束手無策。艾諾拉很想幫忙，卻也必須更謹慎小心，因為她之前才騙過了二哥夏洛克，想必他們更急著把她揪回家。所以，華生醫生的失蹤是真的，還是哥哥們為了引誘她上鉤的詭計？
 
　　太過關注華生的案子，或許會導致自己的人生功虧一簣，但艾諾拉就是克制不了偵探的預感！當她偽裝身分拜訪華生太太，發現華生家收到一束奇異的花束：白色的罌粟花、紅色的五月花、不合時節的綠蘆筍以及纏繞的牽牛花……反常的植物令人不安，花語更像是不詳的預言，艾諾拉意識到自己必須立刻行動，但敵人似乎擁有異於常人的心理狀態，她能在趕在危機發生前及時找到華生醫生嗎？

Don’t miss Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess! Now a Netflix original movie starring Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Helena Bonham Carter!

Enola Holmes--younger sister to Sherlock Holmes--is back on another case!

Everyone knows Dr. Watson is Sherlock Holmes’s right-hand man, so when he goes missing, it’s a shock. Even Sherlock hasn’t the slightest clue as to where he could be. Enola is intrigued but wary; she’s still hiding from her older brothers, and getting involved could prove to be disastrous. But Enola can’t help but investigate, especially when she learns that a bizarre bouquet--with flowers all symbolizing death--has been delivered to the Watson residence. Enola knows she must act quickly, but can she find Dr. Watson in time?
