What Alan Bradley manages to pull off so well (and remember, he's a fairly elderly Canadian gentleman who is said never to have set foot in England before writing THE SWEETNESS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PIE) is to create a little world that has its basis only in books, those books that we plunged into, heart and soul, when were eleven too (REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE.COM )\n\nI loved it. The writing grabbed me and refused to let go before I reached the bottom of the first page. It's witty and thought-provoking. I found myself reading about some quite gruesome situations with a grin on my face because the writing was just so good. You'll love Flavia - clever, but not a clever-clogs ... and with her own uncertainties. She's no angel ... and the trick with the Bible quote was wicked but funny (Sue Magee THE BOOK BAG )\n\nWhile fighting off her two older sisters, and helping others, Flavia grows as a person. She shows a lot of spunk, and unlike "Lou Grant", I like spunk. I like this series, and especially Flavia (DEADLY PLEASURES )
