So nice to be back in this brain.  A good installment and ties together some loose threads.

Another Flavia book to love! I especially enjoyed how it wrapped up and also developed her long-character arc. The narrative wasn’t quite as hilariously written as some of his past books have been (I really didn’t write down quotes this time). So that’s my one star off. But I did still thoroughly enjoy it.

Not the best one, but Flavia is one of the best characters in recent memory.
