I'm not sure how this book let me down but it did. Maybe it's because so many of the characters in other books of the series were not included. I do like Dogger. He's a wonderful character whose depth can surely be explored in future novels.

The mystery of the man who was killed by being pushed under a train takes second place for some time while Flavia's family deals with their own problems. However, I thought that the author did a creditable job of entwining the two even if it seems a bit disjointed at times. Nevertheless, if you have been reading this series you will probably enjoy this one, too. After all, our Flavia is growing up.
