What Time the Sexton's Spade Doth Rust

Cozy mystery fans will love this latest delightful installment featuring Flavia de Luce, Alan Bradley’s plucky and spirited protagonist * Nita Prose, bestselling author of THE MAID *I love the Flavia de Luce novels! I identify, though I unfortunately didn’t have an Uncle Tarquin and was forced to make do with a Christmas chemistry set from the Sears catalog. Flavia is the best female detective I’ve ever read, full of realism, self-confidence, and emotion (in roughly equal parts), and her tales are hilarious, engaging, and occasionally heartbreaking * Diana Gabaldon, bestselling author of the OUTLANDER series *To say I am overjoyed by the return of the magnificent Flavia is a massive understatement. It is a great day when we have her back in our lives with a new, and riveting, crime to solve. Brava, Flavia. Bravo, Alan! * Louise Penny, author of STILL LIFE *Enchanting … Flavia’s characteristic quirky humor and unorthodox thinking are on full display … This series is as fresh as ever * Publishers Weekly *Rejoice, fans of fiction’s youngest franchise detective: Flavia de Luce is back … Nobody could possibly unite intelligence work, mythological monsters, and village gossip as adroitly as Bradley’s heroine * Kirkus Reviews *
