Such a lovely surprise to spend time with Flavia again. And Gladys! I understand the need to add Undine to the story. It gives Flavia someone to interact with. Otherwise she'd spend a lot of time talking to herself. But mostly find Undine annoying. Especially her neverending 💩 jokes.

This book was well-worth the wait, and I hope this isn't the last we see of Flavia. Along with the conventional mystery, we also learn more about the Nide--the organization I've been curious about for so long. And, of course, Flavia is still Flavia.
