Quotes

• “[Flavia] remains irresistibly appealing.”

  — New York Times Book Review

• “Alan Bradley’s third Flavia de Luce mystery, A Red Herring Without Mustard, exceeds in every way, if that’s even possible, his first two…[Flavia] is always feisty, always smart. I adore her. And while it is wonderful to read her as an adult, I wish I’d had Flavia as a role model while growing up. It’s cool to be smart. It’s cool to be Flavia! And it’s great to be among her legion of fans.”

  — Louise Penny, bestselling author of Bury Your Dead
