Another very enjoyable instalment of Flavia. Might not appeal to those who want a chance to suss out the whodunnit for themselves, but fun to read and a good tale, if a little short on well-explained motivation (I'm still not sure why that character was killed - so many possibilities floated, the final solution didn't stick with me). Ultimately I'd rather see a murder like this one in the hands of someone like P.D. James. For those who are interested, there's a clip on YouTube of the record Feely gives Flavia for Christmas (and the comments below the clip show that other Bradley aficionados had looked it up too): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvfoC5_tsgA
