A review by gsanta1
The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets by Nancy Springer
3.0
This series continues to intrigue me.
I’ve noticed some patterns beginning to emerge in the plotting, but it’s all fine for a book under 200 pages.
This one is milder in its wit and sarcasm than the previous two, which was disappointing since it’s one of the reasons I enjoyed the last two.
There’s a bit more angst and self-reflection in this one as well, which may resonate with young readers.
It probably could have been edited down further. There are several characters who needlessly summarize the mystery multiple times throughout the story.
There are more descriptions than the last two books, so if you enjoy reading about bodice fabrics, or the ornamentation on a barouche, then you’ll love it.
