minerva454 's review for:
What Time the Sexton's Spade Doth Rust
by Alan Bradley
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.
I was surprised and delighted to see another Flavia de Luce book available (and I see that there is a planned TV series with a very good writer involved)
Please do yourself a favour and read the series if you haven't already - it's so unique in the mystery genre.
12 (13?) year old Flavia is now an orphan in the post war British countryside and has become the de facto caretaker of an estate and her annoying younger cousin. The two of them, her deceased father's batsman turned gardener and Mrs. Mullet - much more than a cook - get involved in the death of a local resident, to the dismay of the local police.
Flavia's inner monologue shows that she's growing up, and taking on the responsibilites she's been left with, and some big secrets she has to decide what to do with.
As always, the author's prose and the characters are a delight, I just zoomed through this, so I'm happy there will be at least one more.
