![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, and there is a never-ending snow storm that also helps to set up the scenes and the characters. Along this lies another parallel story of how Flavia is planning to trap Father Christmas to see if he really exists. So this was the fourth volume of the series and features a Christmas-time mystery surrounding the murder of an aging film star who was working on a film being shot at the dilapidated country manse where the de Luce family lives. ![]() (Her mother has been killed in a climbing accident in Tibet when she was a baby.) The author does succeed in translating his voice into the voice of a precocious young girl, surrounded by horrible older sisters who like to verbally torture her and a distant father. Although they are written by a man from Canada, the protagonist is an eleven year old girl who lives in a dilapidated country house in 1950’s England. Catching up with some book blog reading last week, I came across a (surprise to me) announcement of the release of another volume of the Flavia de Luce mysteries which happen to be one of my favorite guilty pleasures. ![]()
