As Chimney Sweepers Comes to Dust by Alan Bradley

Only Flavia de Luce, amateur detective and chemist, would be happy to have a long dead body fall out of the chimney in her bedroom. Flavia has reluctantly left England to attend boarding school in Toronto, and it’s clear that her sleuthing skills will be needed. Three girls have reportedly gone missing in the last few years, and everyone seems to be keeping secrets. I would have liked more classroom and dining room scenes, and more news from her home in England, but Flavia is as curious and clever as ever. Flavia’s late mother attended Miss Bodycote’s Academy. The teachers remember her mother, and may even induct Flavia into the Nide. a secret society. New to Flavia’s award-winning mysteries? Start with The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, set in 1950 at Bishop’s Lacey, England. Read all seven books and can’t wait for the final three books to be published?
