Another enjoyable Flavia De Luce mystery. The pace seems much more deliberate, a very enjoyable scene of winter, snowed in with the whole small community in the country manor, Buckshaw, while Flavia prepares a Christmas Eve surprise for Santa and for the community, becoming involved in a murder at ...

Hooray for Flavia! This is another enjoyable installment in this charming, fun series w/ our spunky, erudite heroine. I rarely read 'series' books, yet this is a series I completely adore (& of which I've read all the books so far -- a high endorsement from me).Thanks, Alan Bradley, for your wonderf...

Enjoying this series, this one was a lot more backstory, with relatively little time spent on the mystery.
