    As I read (listened really) I kept thinking it was the best Flavia de Luce Novel yet.  And then...!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2013*

Shock!  You’re left in shock at the very last sentence of the book!  But I digress...I really appreciated the signs in this novel indicating that Flavia, our 12 year old heroine, is growing up.  There are a number of very tender moments, when the three sisters, Flavia, Daffy (Daphne) and Feely (Ophelia), are positively civil with each other.  There’s hope that they may continue to turn to each other, with understanding, love, and support to help ease their crushing emotional burdens they bear, caused by the loss of their mother some 10 years earlier, and the precarious financial disaster that looms heavily over their father and the family Victorian estate at Buckshaw.Flavia is in perfect form as she dashes around the quaint rural village of Bishop’s Lacey, on her bicycle, Gladys, anxious to take part in the exhumation of the local patron saint, St Tancred, buried these 500 years in the crypt at the local Church of England parish, St Tancred’s.  But before they can open the tomb, the church organist’s body is found atop the crypt, face adorned with a ruffled cloth and wearing a gas mask. Flavia is ecstatic about this latest opportunity to match her wits and extraordinary competence in chemistry against the mysterious riddles she unearths in the church and adjoining cemetery.  Of course it would help if she can keep from scaring Cynthia Richardson, the Vicar’s wife, to death, or over-testing Police Inspector Hewitt's patience, or worst of all, becoming a murder victim herself.  But undaunted, she sets about in her usual Flavia wit, spunk, and dogged persistence, to solve this latest mystery, gain some understanding of her father and sisters, and possibly save Buckshaw from financial ruin.This is my favorite of the Flavia de Luce novels so far, however I might advise someone new to this series by Alan Bradley, to start with one of the earlier volumes in the set first, so that a clearer understanding of the characters and circumstances can prepare them for the power of this latest book.  In fact, if you will read them from the very first story, the more powerfully will the last sentence of this book hit home.  It’s has been a while since I have felt this much eagerness to read the next novel in a series, but oh how wonderful is the anticipation!  And for the real book lover, I strongly advise you to NOT look ahead and peek at that last sentence.  It would only reduce your own enjoyment and satisfaction in coming to those shocking words in their proper place and time.  The skill of a very competent author has put them where they will have the best effect, and like life, when things come to us at the proper time, in the proper place, and after the proper preparation, they can be savored with the fullest joy and appreciation.  Enjoy!

I really enjoy the adventures of the precocious and innovative  Flavia.  She does not fail to entertain. Alan Bradley has a winner in her in MHO.

    A pleasure ...

Where to begin …….. ah, but of course. Flavia. She just cracks me up! Oh I don’t mean to say that this is a humorous murder mystery. That would be ludicrous. An oxymoron at best. Murder is serious business, after all. The humor is not in the storytelling. The humor is in Flavia de Luce, the main protagonist in this series. It’s all about a precocious eleven year old girl who rides a bike she calls, Gladys (who, by the way, has a personality all her own. Gladys. The bike…). Flavia and Gladys seem always to be present when there is mischief underfoot. The kind of mischief that forever involves a corpse.In this tantalizing 5th installment, we find Flavia unraveling clues to the murder of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist. And, since Flavia is the one who found his body inside the tomb of Saint Tancred – the town’s patron saint, she most certainly feels obliged to get to the bottom of the matter.As this story weaves through an unwinding of characters and storylines, I can’t help but wonder if there will only be one more book to this series, as certain internet postings seem to have alluded to. I can not imagine an end to Flavia. So, for now, we’ll just keep this rumor on the down-low, shall we? In the event I misread. Of course.Young readers, for whom these tomes are written, will actually love this series. And, I dare say, even attempt to emulate some of the characters. Always a pleasure to be back in Bishop’s Lacey with Flavia and her siblings – two older sisters with an uncanny propensity toward peculiarity. And, oh yes, with Gladys. A pleasure. A real pleasure, indeed.
