The Golden Tresses of the Dead: A Flavia de Luce Novel by Alan Bradley
5.0
The final return of a good Flavia de Luce novel! Fortunately, the writing recovered the quality and wit of the first seven volumes, which the eighth and ninth installment lacked.
In “The Golden Tresses of the Dead”, Flavia is back to her delightful self, working on an infernally complicated case.
The lack of her sisters and parents in the story is regrettable, all the other characters are overpowered by the presence of Dogger.
There seems to be a problem with the printed edition of the last chapter, wherein the verbs change between past and present tense. What is going on?
But still, I’m glad this novel had a lot of shining moments. A haunting and bittersweet end.
