review 1: Oh, my, this Flavia DeLuce is a smart kid. Flavia is now twelve years old and is sent from her home in England to Canada to boarding school. The reasons are a big mystery that I don’t think are ever really addressed. We only know Flavia’s mother and aunt were students at this...

review 1: This is the first Flavia book that I sat down and read. The first 4 entertained me while on extended road trips. They were perfect for that purpose, entertaining and requiring some thought, while not being so deep that I was distracted from my driving.Now I have actually held o...

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...

review 1: A great fun read with the fascinating Flavia. Her character is so well-developed and original. I love the dynamic with her two sisters. The humour in the book is low-key and dry (in a less is more kind of way), that is perfectly in keeping with the story. The combination of Flavi...

review 1: I hardly know what to say about this book - the second in the Flavia series. First I still have no idea what the title has to do with the story. I am unsettled by an eleven-year-old heroine with homicidal tendencies and a lack of ability to tell the truth. I am disturbed by two o...

review 1: Love it and I knew they would find Harriet, I just knew it, now if they have found her alive or dead, that is the question. I was laughing out loud within 5 mins and my kids were laughing at me. My husband likes to just watch me read because I have a perpetual smile on myself. Do...
