Speaking From Among the Bones / Alan Bradley/ 378 p / Set in England, a country that oppressed both the Irish and the Scottish! (too much of a stretch?)

Another fantastic Flavia de Luce mystery in which our intrepid 11-year-old heroine solves a murder in the surprisingly deadly, quiet, little town of Bishop's Lacey. This time, the organist is discovered dead in the crypt when the parish elders decide to dig up the remains of St. Tancred, patron saint of the village church. The murder mystery wraps up neatly, but Alan Bradley surprises with a cliffhanger ending that has me dying for the next book...which, which my luck, won't be out for years and years!

  1. Sorry, we don't award points to oppressors! Down with the British, "Now go away, or I shall taunt you a Second time!" :)
