I was completely enchanted by the main character, Flavia de Luce and this book in general – at least most of the way through.After a while, I did find myself becoming a bit tired of the constant sinister warnings, “be afraid, be very afraid – but I can’t tell you why.” There is way too much suspicion and suspense and not enough reasons for it, and certainly, by the end, not enough explanation. Let me clarify –
Flavia de Luce, the heroine of several previous books, is a 12-year-old girl who can (rather tritely) be referred to as “precocious.” She’s brilliant and, again, I’m sure reviewer after reviewer has spoken of her being “wise beyond her years.” (Really, I’m trying to find a more clever and original way of saying it, but then, I’m a reader and reviewer, not a great author and that’s why you’re reading my words for free.) I love the character. She thinks (at times) the way I did at that age when being spoken to by adults, and she wants to say some of the things I wanted to say. Really, people, it’s an age, not an IQ.
Flavia is “banished” to a Canadian boarding school, where, especially as a DOG (daughter of a goddess, as her mother, a former student is reverently considered), she has trouble fitting in. Oh, and there’s the incident of a body and a head (yes, two pieces) falling out of the fireplace chimney during her first hours in her room. Hard to be blend in as just one of the girls. But then she isn’t just one of girls, and several of the other girls aren’t either — they are apparently special in a way I won’t even hint at.
But I will say the falling body parts are part of a deeper mystery. People are missing, mostly other students. No one will talk about it. Everyone whispers warnings and everyone is afraid to speak.
