Interesting addition to my study of various spiritualities. Mr. Beal isn't trying to proselytize but presents the books of the bible rather than the book called the Bible in a way that makes sense. He presents the library in an intelligent way that while avoiding the traps and trappings of literalism.
I think this is probably my favorite of the Flavia de Luce books so far. Flavia the semi-mad scientist - at least in her mind - is growing up. She of course solves the murder which her small village seems to such an attractant to. But here's the kicker...the last line reveals a MASSSIVE cliff-hanger which is that...well I suppose you wouldn't want me to tell you that.
Enjoy!
Good roundup of a few alternative investments that can add diversity to your portfolio. As always once a book like this is written with specific investments named that information will have changed by the time the book is published but this book did give me enough education that I can speak with a financial adviser on how I might use some of these strategies and not be held completely to mutual funds or individual stocks.
We all have our own tastes and while this book is a little drawn out in places overall I enjoyed the characters - and by that I mean I loved some (Jack)and despised some (Kit) but I was never indifferent to any of them.
Cut about a hundred pages and it could possibly be a better book but for the most part I really liked it.
Flavia is initiated into the real family business.
While I've always liked the Flavia books this one really hits it out of the park! Flavia is growing up and the author is growing too. This sixth book in the series goes somewhere just a little bit beyond words. Yes we still have the humor and the good story telling but this time the tale is nuanced and a pure delight to read.
Thank you Mr. Bradly for an excellent romp and read all wrapped up in a shroud of grief.
