I enjoy the fact that she is a flawed narrator as it makes for some very interesting revelations, or partial revelations, in the next two books as the greater mystery of her life and her mother's loss unfolds. The next two books are great, but then again that is the opinion of someone who loved the first. :) I do like the fact that the "mystery" at the heart of the story isn't the one that Flavia is working to solve at the moment but is the greater mystery that affects the lives of her and her family and slowly but surely it seems like Bradley is unraveling that mystery. I certainly hope the series has a finite end to it and that he keeps taking the de Luce family in the direction he appears to be taking them.Carl V.
