Speaking From Among The Bones: A Flavia De Luce Novel

“The book is a delight — mystifying enough to keep one turning the pages at a good clip, filled with dry wit, and peopled with vividly drawn characters. . . . In addition to creating a witty and fast-paced mystery yarn, he sprinkles the pages with some intriguing tidbits about Flavia’s family and leaves us with a cliffhanger ending that will have the young sleuth’s fans champing at the bit for the next installment.” —Guelph Mercury “There are now five Flavia Deluce novels on bookshelves, but it only takes a few pages for Flavia to come to life and completely occupy the reader's imagination.” —The Next Chapter with Shelagh Rogers “Flavia, once more, entertains and delights as she exposes the inner workings of her investigative mind to the reader.” —The National Post“Memorable, often funny prose complements the crafty plot of Bradley’s fifth Flavia de Luce novel (after 2011’s I Am Half-Sick of Shadows)… The precocious and irrepressible Flavia (who was booted from the Girl Guides for “an excess of high spirits”) continues to delight. Portraying a 11-year-old as a plausible sleuth and expert in poisons is no mean feat, but Bradley makes it look easy. The reader never loses sight of Flavia’s youth, but also never wonders at the likelihood that someone with her qualities exists.”—Publisher’s Weekly
