I am writing a cozy mystery. I was told based on reviews that this book was one of the best. I am struggling as I get to chapter 9. I feel as if I am reading Charles Dickens. What makes this a cozy mystery? I actually bought all 10 of the books.

First of all, good luck on your own cozy mystery! Secondly, while this book might be tough to get through at first, I say to power through it! I am eleven years old and I love the series. It is one of my all-time favorites. I would say that this book is a cozy mystery because you get very acquainted with the characters and end up loving them and being sad when the series ends. Also, the mysteries Alan Bradley comes up with are superb! Flavia is an excellent sleuth and a very relatable character (aside from her off-the-charts intellect, of course). You can also learn a few things about chemistry once you get into it, too. I would say that this is an amazing book series, but if you don't end up liking the first book, I wouldn't bother to read the next ones.

It's suitable for family reading no foul language, sex or gore. I have to agree with Maddy B. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading more.
