This book potrays the wondorous ingredients of a chemist's work as the plot unfolds to create what it would seem to be Flavia de Luce in the time of 1950 Buckshaw. The daring story of the sudden murder will keep you entranced to the very last word. I love this book for it's marelous way of taking me back in time to the life of young Flavia.

The narrator and heroine of this book is an 11 year old girl. She's very smart but not quite as smart as she thinks she is.

Loved this book. The intelligent, 11 year old Flavia is a delight. The humor the Alan Bradley gives this child is very clever. I still find it hard to believe a man wrote this book since the relationship between Flavia and her 2 older sisters was very amusing. I really liked the predicaments Flavia gets into when trying to solve the mystery and how she talked her way out of them. Very cleaver. I am on my way to reading the second in the series. I hope Alan Bradley keeps writing them.
