THE GOLDEN TRESSES OF THE DEAD Flavia de Luce, Book 10

Narrator Jayne Entwistle seamlessly reprises the voices of the beloved characters from the Flavia de Luce mystery series. In this installment, the townspeople of Bishop's Lacey attend the wedding of Flavia's sister, Ophelia. Entwistle is bright voiced as Flavia, especially in the face of a jolly good mystery--the appearance of a human finger in the wedding cake! Quiet, thoughtful moments are sprinkled in frequently as Flavia's logical mind sorts out the shifting moods of puberty, which Entwistle smoothly evokes. Flavia's self-reflection is contrasted with the unsettled nature of her young cousin Undine--who is playing pranks one moment and bluntly questioning the next. Dogger, steadfast as always in pace and action, allows Flavia to navigate their new relationship as cofounders of Arthur W. Dogger & Associates, Discreet Investigations.
