A review by madmooney
The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley
5.0
I had received this book in advance of its publilcation date, so I was among the first cohort of fans to receive momentary closure on the final "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA?" moment in 'Speaking from Among the Bones', the previous novel.
So Flavia's mother is found, and she is coming home...what will this mean for the DeLuce's? What will this mean for Buckshaw's crumbling halls, and the financial weight that has plagued the Colonel from book 1?
The book certainly satisfies many questions I have had about the series so far, many mysteries have been dragged out into the light. One would argue this is the point where the book was eventually going to hit, as the series concludes.
However, once again, the quickening moments in the book's final chapter not only puts those feelings of series-finality to rest, but it makes me SO VERY EXCITED for where the story will go next!!!! *cough*Toronto*cough*
