Flavia’s relationship with her sisters baffles me. I also have two sisters, and cruelty, animosity, pettiness, and pranks were a part of growing up. But they were balanced by periods of cooperation and affection. The De Luce girls appear to genuinely hate each other? And for no apparent reason? All families are different, sure; but it feels very arbitrary.

Flavia is even more of a conceited and self-righteous busybody in this one than the first two; I recognize that this is sort of necessary to make an 11-year-old solving crimes even remotely plausible, but I do rather hope she gets some kind of comeuppance. I like her still, but she is insufferable.
