I Am Half-Sick of Shadows: A Flavia de Luce Novel
reviewed on + 1116 more book reviews


This is actually a review of the hardcover rather than the audio version. I couldn't get the hardcover to appear on the site even through the link. Flavia is as delightful as ever with literal fireworks, a plan to trap Father Christmas and movie people overrunning her home! We learn more about Dogger, and see the usual harassment by her sisters and benevolent neglect by her father. She can't ride Gladys due to blizzard conditions, but there is a cameo appearance. It felt shorter than the other books in the series and I was left with a few loose ends after the solution to the murder, but all in all a very enjoyable read.
