Original review:
The only thing that could possibly make this book better (aside from maybe not activating my mild claustrophobia in a couple of scenes) is if I'd discovered it a couple of decades ago when I was eleven.

Gripes with the book:
- Lots of description to the situation and scenery going on which makes it hard to read at times. I think the authors writing gets better as the novel goes on. The description about how Flavia was rescued at the end was so confusing.
- The conversations between Flavia and the detective seemed flirtatious.
- The author is American and is writing about Britain and their customs. Just seems wrong tbh. Do research.
Side note: I love how I read about poisons before this book and this novel references different types of poisons!

About halfway through the book there's a long monologue that features an extended depiction of racist stereotypes, with a few others scattered throughout.emileereadsbooks's review against another edition
