Not as strong as the others in my opinion and I had a hard time following everything this time around.

A Red Herring without Mustard is another of Alan Bradley’s delightful, comic mysteries featuring Flavia de Luce, the eleven-year-old detective and chemist. Bradley’s plots are implausibly complex, but it is not for the mysteries that I read these books but for the funny, irrepressible character of Flavia.

May be the best of the series so far - hard to put down. Even though the main character is only 11 years old, these books can be enjoyed by adults, not only children.

We both really enjoyed it...it was Grace's favorite so far...can't believe I promised to wait until she gets back from camp to listen to the next one.

I never judge books by their cover, but this one makes me wish I had. The rolling, wild nature of the writing itself is worth a read, particularly to recover from my previous read, NOS4a2. Have become a fan of Flavia de Luce, and will be back for more!

Tähän mennessä paras Flavia de Luce -dekkari! Tykkäsin tosi paljon Flavian nerokkuudesta, miljöön kuvailusta ja juonesta, joka oli samaan aikaan tosi kevyttä ja piti mielenkiinnon yllä.

You cannot stop Flavia! Wise beyond her years.
