The Case of the Gypsy Good-bye, by Nancy Springer (Young Adult)

Enola Eudoria Hadassah Holmes is Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister. One year ago her mother ran away, then, when her brothers wanted to send her to a posh boarding school, she ran also. In this book she surfaces as a finder of missing persons, or a ‘perditorian.’ Always careful to avoid either of her brothers, she embarks on an adventure searching for the Duquesa del Campo, who inexplicable disappeared one day in the Underground.

This is a delightful mystery which kept my interest all the way to the end, and I will be sure to read the other volumes in this 6-volume series.
