I so enjoyed this book. It only took me 3 days even while working and getting 8 hours of sleep at night.
The main character Flavia de Luce has come back home from school in Canada. It is set in around the time after WWII. It is hard to imagine Flavia being only 12 years old the way she speaks she sounds much older. But she is a precocious young lady seeming to have a habit of finding dead bodies and then going about trying to solve the mystery. Once I got past the bizarre and off putting way she speaks I did enjoy the mystery unfolding. She travels all over the place alone and in very bad weather in which no one seems to think odd or to care. Her family is very distant to her and her father is in the hospital. Her mother has passed away. The only one who seems to care about her is Dogger her family's butler and some neighbors and acquaintances.
Coming in to the story at book 8 was probably not the best beginning because I am sure stuff got explained along the way. But eventually I got the hang of the story and started to enjoy it.
I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.
