23 – A Red Herring Without Mustard – Alan Bradley

 

Genre: Period Mystery

Rating: Pure Flavia

The third entry in the Flavia DeLuce series, has Flavia mixed up with Gypsies and old fears and murder!

Flavia is at her most stubbornly determined when she finds an old gypsy woman beaten near to death. She just can’t let it drop, of course, and keeps digging to find out whodunit, even in the face of yet another murder.

Flavia is, I realize an acquired taste, one some folks never quite get used to, but I do adore her. And some of the things she says and does brings back my own childhood so doubly a reason I adore her.
