11-year-old Flavia de Luce loves chemistry and spends a lot of time alone. She’s charming and curious but a bit rough around the edges. In 1950 at Buckshaw, the manor house she shares with her father and two sisters, Flavia witnesses the death of a mysterious man in the garden. Who killed him? How was he killed? These questions lead Flavia on a quest to solve the mystery and exonerate her father.
I don’t normally read mysteries, but Flavia’s voice drew me in. She’s sassy and funny and wickedly smart. I listened to this book on CD. Jayne Entwistle expertly captures Flavia and makes her come alive. I’m really looking forward to the next book in this five book series.
