This is a mystery book which takes place in 1950’s England where are slueth is eleven year old girl named Flavia de Luce. She has a passion for chemistry and poisons! It is a wonderfully told tale as she tries to unravel why a stranger has died in her cucumber patch! This is the first in a series and I hope to read more books telling of Flavia’s adventures.
Our second selection is The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge the author of The Little White Horse discussed in September’s newsletter. We are back in Engleand again this time in the mid 1960’s.
