Series: Flavia de Luce #3 These mysteries are fun, especially in audio format, but Flavia is still a little terror even though we get to see some of the reasons she's always out to get her sisters. I've decided to use Alan Bradley as my Wildcard author, so I'm counting this toward square 13 fo...

This series has the best titles, and the best covers. They both convey this welcoming want for me, and I’m compelled to read them almost against my will. As of writing this, I’m actually four books in to the series, and unfortunately Bradley seems to be a bit hit or miss with his mysteries and sense...

Another fun read, great to meet Flavia again, more concentration here on her spirited persistence in unraveling a past and present mystery, as before a very interesting depiction of bits of prewar English cultural history, not so much focus on chemistry, and more on character development, revealing ...
