The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag

The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag - Alan Bradley Flavia De Luce is an 11-year-old amateur detective and almost too bright for her small town surroundings. Being a budding chemist and quite knowledgeable about many things could be boring in Bishop’s Lacey if you didn’t have a murder to investigate.

This book moved along quite well and it was a good little mystery, but I found Flavia a little too difficult to take. Instead of finding her charmingly precocious, I found her quite annoying. Enough so, that I wouldn’t pick up another in the series.
