I've missed the laugh-out-louds that Flavia brings to my day! Yes, the plot is a bit out there, but it didn't bother me.

I thought this series was done, but it was so nice to have book - there was some moments that were particularly dark, but Flavia is just a fascinating character and I hope to be reading more of her stories.

Not my favorite of the Flavia de Luce novels, but worlds better than the boarding school ones! So happy to see Dogger and Mrs. Mullet again. Also Undine is growing on Flavia.

The information about poisons and chemistry is interesting, as always.

Book 12 has already been announced!
