The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse by Alan Bradley
3.0
3 stars
A very short story which has that feel of unique quirkiness and charm. A student at the local boys' academy calls on Flavia to investigate a very unique murder. It was interesting that Flavia's reputation has led her to be consulted in a murder mystery. Flavia puts it all together and confronts the person who needs to be confronted, solving the mystery. The mystery is clever enough, I suppose, but it feels curiously flat and not filling.
Bradley could have added a few more pages and made it more cohesive with other novels. Anyhow I enjoy Flavia’s chemistry-obsessed mind. So there was no way I was going to skip this one.
Happy Reading!!
