This book was definitely worth the wait! In the time between books 1 and 2, I gave away 3 copies of "The Name of the Wind" as a gift, and bought it in hardback, paperback, and on my Kindle.

I LOVED the first novel from Bradley, "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" and it got me through an otherwise excruciating term on jury duty. SO I wsa totally looking forward to the next Flavia de Luce book, and this one did not disappoint. The highest compliment I can pay it is, I will buy everything Bradley writes, IN HARDBACK and at full price. Can't wait for the 3rd!
