Summary

Alan Bradley: Smoked Herring Without Mustard

Stubborn, intelligent and irresistibly witty Flavia de Luce seems older than her 11 years, but readers who have met her in Bradley's previous two books know that she also has a vulnerable side - and this is best seen in her relationship with her distant father and sisters who constantly and cruelly tease her.

While Flavia solves her latest case, her family is on the brink of bankruptcy. Her father is auctioning off his treasured, beloved postage stamps and family silver. In the midst of a family crisis, an unstoppable young detective investigates the beating of a gypsy witch doctor and the murder of a local thief linked to a group of religious cult members, a local antique shop and the disappearance of a child.

Sound complicated? And it is, but Bradley's storytelling skill connects everything into a fluid and convincing story - exciting, tense and surprisingly innocent despite the dark events at its center.

***

Outstanding... In this irresistible combination of imaginative whimsy and suspenseful crime, Flavia deftly navigates the adult world while avoiding the childish traps set for her by her sisters.
Publishers Weekly

Any whether she's doing battle with her cruel sisters or sparring verbally with poor Inspector Hewitt, our sassy heroine is always just as irresistible. Filled with witty dialogues and colorful eccentric characters, the crime series with the main character Flavia de Luce will enchant readers who enjoy intelligent humor and tense crime scenes.

Alan Bradley was born in Toronto and grew up in Cobourg, Ontario. As an electronics engineer, he worked at radio and television stations in Ontario and at Ryerson University in Toronto. After deciding to take early retirement to devote himself to writing, Bradley publishes children's stories and teaches a course in screenwriting and television production at the University of Saskatchewan. In collaboration with William Sarjeant, he writes the book "Ms Holmes of Baker Street", in which the authors present the astonishing thesis that one of the world's most famous detectives, Sherlock Holmes, is actually a woman. The controversial book brought him wide popularity, with numerous newspaper interviews and guest appearances on radio and television shows.
