Giant Cliffhanger!

*SPOILERS*

I just finished Speaking From Among the Bones by Alan Bradley, which is part of the Flavia de Luce series. This is the newest book in the series that is currently being written about a 12 year old girl who solves the murder mysteries in her town and just so happens to be a chemist. In the end of the book, the killer of the organist, Mr. Collicut, is revealed to be Ms. Tanty one of the choir singers at the same church.
Once again, the killer surprised me and I did not expect Ms. Tanty to be the killer. Even though I did not expect Ms. Tanty to be the killer, it made sense she was the murderer and every thing clicked. Throughout the book, there had been the threat of the de Luce's (Flavia's family) house, Buckshaw, being sold because of financial problems. In the book, the de Luce's are forced to put a "FOR SALE" sign so the threat was even more present than in the other books. At the end of the book, Flavia's father calls the three sisters into the room to talk to them seriously. I thought (as did Flavia) that her father was going to tell them that they would have to sell the house. Instead, he tells them that their mother has been found. Their mother was supposedly dead on an expedition (because she was never found) when Flavia was a little kid. Then the book ends. I freaked out! Not only is that the biggest cliffhanger, but I have to wait a very long time until the next book comes out. This is definitely a giant twist for the series and I can't wait for the next book to come out so I can continue reading! But for now, I guess I will have to wait!

Halfway There

I am about halfway though Speaking From Among the Bones by Alan Bradley that is in the Flavia de Luce. In the beginning Flavia found a dead body in the crypt of the patron saint of their church who was then identified has the organist Mr. Collicut. Currently, Flavia hasn't learned much about who the killer of Mr. Collicut could be, although she has learned a lot of other things- things about her family and other people in the village.
I am so eager to keep reading this book to find out who the killer is! All the new information that Flavia is finding is really interesting. Every time Flavia learns something new I feel like I am learning something new as well! Some of the things that are happening in the story are shocking me and I can't wait to find out more!

Reunited

I have just started the new book in the Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley called Speaking From Among the Bones. The book is about twelve year old detective Flavia who lives with her two older sisters and father. The series is set in the past but I am unsure as the year. Flavia continually finds murders in her small English town. Flavia is an avid chemist and at the beginning has found another dead body in the church.
I am really excited to delve even deeper into this book. I haven't read a series in a while and I forgot what it feels like to start reading a new book in a series. The feeling is great- its like picking up right where you left off! It reminds me of visiting people that you don't see often but still know them really well.I'm really interested to see how the relationships between all the characters progress. There is also a threat throughout the book that has existed the entire series that Flavia and her family will lose the castle like estate they live in due to money problems. I can't imagine the family living anywhere else so I am interested to see if they will have to move or if they will find a way to stay. And if they do leave, where will they go?  Alan Bradley, the author, is currently writing the series so this book is new. I love this series and can't wait to read even more!
