Book Chat: A Red Herring Without Mustard

*****
A Red Herring without Mustard by Alan Bradley
"Flavia de Luce is best described as a mix of Nancy Drew and Scout (from To Kill A Mockingbird)! Her astouding vocabulary, knowledge of chemistry and her ability to seek out mystery makes this truly a wonderful read. It is the 3rd in the Flavia de Luce series and I have enjoyed all three! If you enjoyed Nancy Drew as a child, you will find this fits the grown up must read list!" -Amy Grelinger

  1. I love Flavia de Luce! This book (the second in the series was definitely my favorite! The third book, The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag was excellent as well!

  4. This series has been on my list for a while. It looks like I may have to take the plunge. I haven't had too much mystery in my summer repertoire thus far.
