I read Alan Bradley's first mystery novel in this series during a business trip, and it was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the young protagonist's love of chemistry - this is a book I should be reading to Mark.
I didn't find the second quite as charming - sometimes the inclusion of the chemistry slant seemed a bit forced. But Flavia's internal dialogue is still as funny as ever, particularly the rules she makes up for herself in how best to cope with her misadventures.
