A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley

5.0

This is my favorite Flavia de Luce book so far. Although the solutions to some of the problems were obvious, others really surprised me. In this book, Flavia seems more vulnerable and human, which makes me like her even more. Her relationships with her father and sisters are explored a little more in depth. The changes they are all going through are refreshing. Bradley writes with a consistent voice, which can't possibly be easy for an older man writing in the voice of an eleven-year-old girl.
