It’s been a decent summer so far for plucky British gumshoes. After the cozily pastoral charms of the delightful whodunit “Sheep Detectives” and its unusual crime-stoppers, we get the winsome “Enola Holmes 3,” the latest installment of the Netflix mystery franchise that follows the sleuthing escapades of Sherlock’s little sister. Enola is no longer a wide-eyed, inexperienced heroine — she’s made a good enough name for herself as an insightful, observant detective who can look at any inconspicuous scene for a brief moment and promptly spot at least half a dozen fishy peculiarities.
