I loved the intelligent, stubborn, no-nonsense Flavia, but the pacing and narration of this book were hard for me to follow (though that may speak more to my broken brain being unable to parse anything besides romance, contemporary fiction, and the occasional non-fiction book than the quality of the novel). The ending zooms along nicely, though.
