Book Review: Speaking From Among the Bones

Book Review: Speaking From Among the Bones

I have loved the Flavia de Luce novels in the past but found Speaking From Among the Bones to be lackluster.  I didn’t feel like there was much of a mystery element as there has been previously.  Alan Bradley seemed to go off on tangents and thought the death of Mr. Collicutt took a backseat […]

Review: You Are One of Them
