Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd by Alan Bradley

The eighth in the series about Flavia deLuce, this book delighted me. While the murder was macabre and messy, the story was delightful. I liked it much better than #7, which was set in Canada in a boarding school. I enjoy Flavia much more in her English environment with her local characters. It was the perfect book to chuckle over and enjoy while acclimating to the cold climate and new surroundings of our new home in Bismarck. At Christmastime with no family around, it cheered me up, and gave me many a light chuckle.
