This is my favorite series. I tried to savor this book as long as possible but it is hard to put down. 
 Flavia really got into the mix this time. Unlike most mystery series, Flavia is growing up. His details of the time period really put you there. The other characters in the town I find to be really interesting, the Vicar, etc. 
 (view spoiler)[ I', still reeling from bombshell at the end of the book! (hide spoiler)]
