Flavia de Luce Returns

I'm a big fan of Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series.  Set on an English country estate in the early 1950's, these wonderful stories focus on the amateur sleuthing of young Flavia de Luce, youngest of the de Luce sisters, whose father is a widower who spends most of his time with his stamp collection.  Flavia has taught herself all about chemistry, a skill she uses to good effect in solving local murders.  Bradley writes compelling stories with a fantastic cast of characters.  Highly recommended.  A+ all around.
