Flavia de Luce #11 Book Review! 👧🏻📙🔍☠️🧪

What Time the Sexton's Spade Doth Rust by Alan Bradley 🤩

A gem!! I forgot how much I love this character created by Alan Bradley!

Book Rating: 4.5🌟 

Oh, what an amazing addition to the series! I've read at least six books so far and I was in love from the very beginning. Flavia de Luce is the most charming and hilarious character. 

It's impossible not to be charmed by her youth, awkward nerdiness, sharp intelligence and overactive mind. Although I was classified as "nerdy" in high school for my love of mathematics, I don't think I have even a quarter of her talented and brilliant mind.

Following Flavia, her sisters, her kooky cousin Undine, helpful Mrs. Mullet and loyal Dogger was such a treat. You never knew what will happen next! But, that's the beauty of this mystery series. The country village of Bishop's Lacy was also wonderful to come back to, especially because it takes place in the 1950s (one of my favorite time periods).

I love everything about this book...such a gorgeous edition!

Overall, I loved the pacing, the plot and all of the seemingly random (but also very clever) details sprinkled throughout the narrative. I found myself slightly overwhelmed at times because there was so much going on, but it was for the very best reasons. Plus, the ending was perfect.

Now, I need to go back and read 7-10!!

Many thanks to Penguin Random House Publishing for sending me this book to read and review! I can't wait to read the next in the series! 😍❤️

So many amazing titles!! One of my absolute FAV mystery series!
