The Flavia De Luce books just get better and better, or maybe it just seems that way because I love the characters more with each book. Especially Flavia, and Buckshaw, her family's ancestral home, which is like a character in itself. When I read the first book in the series, I liked Flavia and kind of liked the actual story/mystery. Based on that I might not have continued reading, but I'm glad I did.
