I've just finished The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches (Flavia de Luce #6) by Alan Bradley
This is a cozy mystery narrated from the viewpoint of an eleven-year old (soon to be twelve) girl. After reading this book, I've come to two conclusions--I'm not into cozy mysteries. So, why did I give it a three-star instead of two or one? Because even though I might not have been able to get into it, I know other readers who like this genre will. First let me say, the writing is unique and superb. The way this author describes sounds and the atmosphere around you is unique in his own way, and that makes the story so vivid and alive. I really liked that part. His characters are so realistic; and it's a clean novel. If this author wrote suspense, I would definitely buy more of his books.
But the story just didn't hold my attention. And the second conclusion is, I don't like stories told in first person; even though he kept the point-of-view to one character and not every one in the book, is a plus.
If you like cozy mysteries, you'll like this book.
I'm going to try and read a few more books along my preferred genre before I get back to writing; and let's not forget, tennis is coming. So, there goes my time.
Thanks, Everyone! And Happy Reading!
