As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

5.0

I loved this book because Flavia can do no wrong (IMO). She is quirky and smart and feisty and knows just how to work everyone she meets. She knows the rules of a spy game she's never played and does it splendidly. I did really miss Buckshaw and the wonderful characters from Bishops Lacy (especially Dogger), but this change of scene was very interesting to the series. The characters were mysterious and I never really had a handle of what was going on...but Flavia did. I was stunned by the result and all the different explanations that came out. I wish Flavia could have used more of her chemistry to solve this crime. It was such a fast read because I love the character and the writing. I can't wait for more.
