I’m not super in love with this book–it seemed sillier than the other Flavia books with all of the spy intrigue, and I felt like the story just keeps stringing us along without answering questions. I think I might be done with this series for now.

Please read my review here.

I decided to try Bradley’s Flavia de Luce mysteries–this is the first one. While Flavia is almost impossibly precocious, they’re great fun and satisfied my hankering for a new mystery series nicely.

Flavia at Christmas! I found this one a bit more forgettable than the others, partly because I’m becoming impatient for something to actually happen–the different subplots are starting to feel a little too drawn out. But still, Flavia!
