On to Mt TBR it goes.

#7 in the Flavia de Luce series. I am delighted with the premise that a child is solving adult crimes. It's a bit of fun, Alan Bradley narrates the story with a touch of humour and whimsy.

To the finder of this book -
Please let me know it is in safe hands by journalling that you have caught it, you are under no obligation to read it and Bookcrossing is completely anonymous.

The story sounds interesting and I like the school setting. I have always been a bit fascinated by boarding school milieu, and for mystery books boarding schools are a perfect setting.

Different from the boarding school mysteries I read in the 50's. The mystery was good, but nothing that stood out for me. Of course, you’d not be surprised that a body fell out of the chimney in the room assigned to this little chemist on the very night she arrived. Even exhausted from her travels, quick thinking allowed her to scoop up evidence to examined (later in private) before the body was whisked away. Not deterred at being the new arrival, she launched her own investigation immediately. Could there be a connection with the girls rumored to have disappeared and this body?
