What is there not to love about Flavia de Luce? She's a young British chemist with a fascination for poisons, who sets out in this installment to capture St. Nick. Oh, and solve the murder of a film star that occurs in her crumbling manor that is acting as the set of a movie. The characters of the British village of Bishop's Lacey are all fully realized, Flavia is hilarious, and the intrigue and mystery of a movie set murder are engaging enough that reading the previous books is not required to enjoy this.
