⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What Time the Sexton’s Spade Doth Rust (Flavia de Luce, #11)
Flavia de Luce is back! I was so excited to hear that there was a new addition to this series. She is the perfect mix of smart, funny and sassy. She’s joined again by housekeeper Mrs Mullet, her beloved Dogger and her very spunky younger cousin Undine.
When a neighbor is poisoned, Mrs Mullet is suspected because she cooks breakfast for him. Flavia and Undine find the clues to help the police figure out what happened, and Flavia is able to use her chemistry skills to figure out what poison was used.
There is a very big plot twist in this one that I never would have guessed. My heart aches for Flavia with all that she’s been through. I think it takes a very special writer to be able to invoke such strong feelings from a reader.
I would have liked more witty insults from Daffy, and maybe some encouraging words from either the vicar’s wife or the inspector’s wife. But overall very happy with this newest edition of the series.
I will be pre-ordering/purchasing the audiobook with my own money/Audible credits because the narrator of this series is one of my favorites.
Special thanks to Netgalley and Random House for the advanced Kindle edition of the book in exchange for my honest opinion.
