Sometime hard to focus on, but overall, I enjoyed this book.

Eleven-year-old Flavia DeLuce discovers a body in her garden and hears the man‘s last word. Her father, a philatelist with a humorous and dark history, is arrested for the crime. Both her dad and the dead man have a history with an extraordinary and rare stamp. Flavia, a chemistry genius, sets out to discover the truth putting herself into mortal danger. A good story and fairly complex. Unfortunately I didn‘t grasp it all, being fairly stressed ⬇️
Awaiting library holds so I‘m listening to this audiobook.
Still trapped in 1869 Edinburgh, Mallory along with Dr. Gray and company investigate three mysterious deaths. The stakes are raised when Gray and Isla‘s older sister, Anis is under suspicion for poisoning her husband. Another satisfying 3+ ⭐️ read from Armstrong. I am enjoying the series and when I have finished one title I promptly download the next.
An adorable and light read with some mystery and mayhem mixed in!
One down for my #readyourkindle books for Sept. this book was a fascinating look at the science of poisons and their historical uses (both medically beneficial and murderous)
This was definitely my favorite book of August. Loved it so much! Suuuuuper fascinating.
Came to Capon Springs with my mom for the night. It‘s an old school resort- only lodge area has wifi, no cell service no internet and no tv except in that communal space. BUT they do have a library- and the tagged book was in it so i added to my tbr because i will not finish by tomorrow.
I loved this! It‘s a perfect blend of sciency stuff with the poisons and true crime. Absolutely fascinating. And I appreciate how the author managed to make a lot of the science understandable to a non-science person like me.
