This book probably deserves 4 stars, but to me, as far as how much I enjoyed it, 5 stars baby Having just read Steig Larssen s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I hadn t expected to stumble on a heroine as quickly that I d love as much But Flavia fits the bill This is a historical mystery, set in England in the late 40 s 51 maybe Anyway, Flavia is 11 going on 40 She s a genius, perhaps a mad one, who knows She is drawn into a wonderful mystery that I don t want to spoil, but her tenacity and This book [...]
I really wanted to like this then I ended up doing The story started off slowly, then picked up steam with a murder to solve and some interesting backstory on stamps What hindered my enjoyment of the book, the story and the murder mystery was, unfortunately, the main character and detective Flavia duLuce.To say that young Flavia is precocious is an understatement She has to be one of the most intelligent, well spoken, criminal minds since Sherlock Holmes Problem is, she s only 11 years I really [...]
So I m the outlier I cannot abide Flavia de Luce yes, the same Flavia de Luce that everyone else in the reading universe or at least the subset of those who enjoy mysteries loves, adores, enjoys For months I hid my outlier status by changing the applicable shelf from currently reading to to read , but have decided that today I shall end the deception and own my outlier status I am a grown woman I can handle the blow back from admitting that being forced to read one page rel So I m the outlier I [...]
A historical mystery, set in England, narrated by a precocious 11 year old girl I feel like I should have loved this, but mostly it just bored me Flavia s narration, designed to show off how brilliant she is, lacked the necessary wit and charm, and her investigation into a couple of murders and some missing stamps was full of weird leaps of logic and sideways step conclusions I never felt involved or like any part of the story was real or mattered.
Flavia de Luce is an 11 year old amateur sleuth, a future chemist and poison enthusiast She lives with her widowed father and two older sisters at Buckshaw a decaying English country side mansion Flavia s days are occupied with chemical experiments and schemes of spiking her evil older sister Ophelia s lipstick with poison ivy That is until one fateful day a dead bird with a postage stamp stuck to its beak is found on the doorstep of Buckshaw Even , soon after Flavia finds a dead man i Flavia de [...]
I absolutely loved Sweetness The narrator protagonist is one of the cleverest, liveliest, most entertaining characters I have had the pleasure to meet in many a year I laughed aloud many times and couldn t wait to get back to reading this gem Flavia is the 11 year old daughter of a widower in England in the 50s She loves science and mystery, despises her haughty clueless sisters, and is plotting to poison them and get away with it When mysterious crimes happen at the family home, she thrust I ab [...]
When young Flavia de Luce, aspiring chemist, finds a body in the cucumber patch outside her father s house, she finds herself caught up in a web of deceit and murderI m not really sure how my love of detective fiction led me to this tale of an eleven year old girl in 1950s England solving a mystery involving stamps but I m glad it did.Flavia de Luce is a precocious English girl with a passion for chemistry in general and poisons in particular She lives in an English country house with her fa Whe [...]
