Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley
3.0
Digital audiobook performed by Jayne Entwistle
Book five in the series starring eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, amateur chemist and amateur sleuth. This time the action focuses on the town’s celebration in honor of the 500th anniversary of the patron saint of Bishop's Lacey. Flavia’s as curious as the next person, and she can’t wait to witness the opening of St. Tancred’s tomb. But she’s certainly not prepared to see the rather fresh body of Mr. Colllicutt, the church organist. Of course, she HAS to figure out what happened. Meanwhile the family drama continues with reduced circumstances threatening their beloved Buckshaw.
I love this series, mostly because I love Flavia. She’s an intrepid explorer, pedaling about the area on her trusty bicycle, Gladys, and doing experiments in her laboratory. She is smart, independent, curious and determined. I love her relationship with Dogger and with her father. And I love how Bradley inserts all sorts of information about chemistry and science into the plots. I am, however, getting tired of her sisters and how horribly they treat Flavia. Talk about bullying!
Jayne Entwistle does a marvelous job performing the audio books in this series. Her Flavia is delightful, and she does a good job bringing all the characters to life.
