I’m lucky to have won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, as our library is a bit inconsistent in keeping up with current books in their collection.
I simply adore Flavia, and was left with a sense of loss and change when her father died. But Dogger is keeping the girls’ chins up and keeping them occupied. No surprise that Flavia discovers a dead body, and that she finds kindred spirits even away from home.
I think what I love most about these books, besides the fully fleshed out characters (and the chemistry lab) is the conversation. I laugh out loud at Flavia’s precociousness! I can just hear Alan Bradley chuckling as he writes.
What word nerd wouldn’t love these charming books?
