A review by leasummer
I Am Half Sick Of Shadows by Alan Bradley

4.0

Set at Christmastime, when I saw this on a list of recommended holiday mysteries I was intrigued by the young amateur detective with a passion of chemistry and science even though I rarely read male authors (and find a man writing a young female character odd). This did not disappoint as the protagonist was a delight and the way she went about solving the case was entertaining. It was a cozy read on a snowy day just right for the holiday season.
