so-soI always enjoy reading Flavia‘s voice, but I found it hard to suspend disbelief for some of the plot elements. For this reason I do not regret keeping the series a borrow rather than buy. A possibly spoilery musing is spoiler tagged in a comment.
pickWhile I enjoyed sleuthing with Flavia and Dogger again, something was missing in this installment. I‘m curious to see how long Bradley continues this series, now that Flavia is growing up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickFlavia de Luce is growing up. What enjoyed most about this newest installment was the moments when Flavia was dealing with occupying the space between child and adult.
pickFlavia is back! And what she uncovers is pretty sinister. I‘ve listened to this entire series, and this latest addition is as enjoyable as the others. There were parts that seemed a little far fetched or slow, but it was so nice to return to Flavia, Dogger, and Bishop‘s Lacy.
pickOh, I wanted to love this. It‘s Flavia, after all! But it was only okay. A lot of filler, a weak story line, and one particular event that has got to be pandering to readers versus what Bradley actually wanted to do with the overarching story.
But I loved seeing Flavia and Dogger and even Mrs Mullet again so it gets a pick!

pickThis series is very fun but the early books are better. This is the 11th. You basically have to read the entire series to get what's going on here. Low pick for this one but the series is a high pick.

4 Stars • I‘ve followed Alan Bradley‘s Flavia de Luce and her antics for fifteen years now and these books never disappoint. In "What Time the Sexton's Spade Doth Rust," amateur sleuth Flavia de Luce, along with her younger cousin Undine, investigates the murder of a former public hangman, Major Greyleigh. ⬇️
I am so excited to be reading an arc of the new Flavia DeLuce. I thought the series had ended! I screamed when I saw a new one scheduled for September. One of my favorite mystery series. 🚲 🔬
Flavia is coming back! I love this series, so glad to see that there‘s going to be a new installment. It‘s been quite a while since the last one. My preorder has already been placed.
Ah! He just hinted on Facebook today that there's a new one, I hurry to goodreads and there's 2 new stories coming!
Love Flavia
