Flavia de Luce

review 1: You'd think that by now, I'd be sick (and not just "half-sick") of Flavia de Luce and her improbably twee adventures in solving murder mysteries in a tiny 1950s English hamlet. But Flavia, her sisters, and the rest of the residents of Bishop's Lacey are just so much fun to visit; I especially liked the Daffy/Feely/Flavia dynamic this time around and how Daphne is coming to understand Flavia more, and work with her a little. The mystery itself was much more surprising than some other installments of this series - a good thing, if you ask me. Murder and merriment abound in this book, and if you've liked the other Flavia books, this won't disappoint.
review 2: I think this may be my favorite so far in the series and I have a feeling it is only going to get bett... moreer. I am partial to Christmas so that helped. The series has progressed far enough that old friends can now return making the world richer. Interesting developments are on the horizon on Dogger's past and the relationship between the sisters. The case itself was interesting and I always like to see how Flavia and the Inspector come to the same conclusion from such different paths and sets of information. less
