On to my TBR - I love Entwistle as Flavia!
Listening to it now, love Flavia and Entwistle's reading is perfect.
Add me to Entwistle's fan club! She IS Flavia ...
I initially had to adjust to the change in Flavia's voice (I read the first 4 books in print), and liked mine a lot, but I love Entwistle's rendition now.
I've just started the audio. I love Jayne Entwhistle's Flavia. I can't imagine reading the series anymore. I always have to wait for the audio.

Alan Bradley is in excellent form here in this series where the books are not all equally done (but Jayne Entwistle makes them all enjoyable with her lovely rendition of Flavia.).
Recently orphaned after the death of their father, the de Luce sisters are on holiday chaperoned and cared for by Dogger when Flavia inadvertently puts her hand in a corpse's mouth while they are on a boat. Well, you can read the description on the book's page, but I want to say that this is Flavia at her finest AND that I love the character growth in her as well as her sisters. There are new delightful and/or intriguing characters as they are away from home.
As much as I enjoy Entwistle, her Australian accent is even worse than her Canadian one BUT one can always chalk that up to being the voice of Flavia who is narrating the tale, who no doubt is bad at imitating accents.
