Another wonderful one. Flavia is getting "hurt" more often by physically doing her investigating and closer to people who are harmed and even murdered.

I love Flavia de Luce, 11 year old detective. I am looking forward to the next one….
Not my favorite Flavia Deluce mystery. Just finished I am Half-Sick of Shadows and much preferred it.
