Rarely have I felt as happy as I did when the body of Rupert crashes into his puppet theatre in my first Flavia De Luce mystery.

It’s an incandescent feeling, the stage is set, our erstwhile detective, intrepid inspector, the victim’s friends family and enemies are all present and then…

Da duh dum… The murder happens.

You just get this feeling like this is going to be an amazing whodunit.

Young and old can appreciate these novels about the completely charming eleven year old detective Flavia. Highly recommend it!
