Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew’d by Alan Bradley is the eighth Flavia de Luce book and of course the title is a quote from Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There’s not a lot I can say about it really except …
As ever I enjoyed this book because I love Flavia as a character but this one does suffer from a lack of family banter between Flavia and her older sisters, and even Dogger didn’t seem to appear that often. Also I didn’t appreciate the ending at all. There have been too many actual exits of ‘big’ characters in 2016 and I could certainly be doing without fictional ones too!
Don’t worry. It wasn’t Flavia.
I suppose I could take up reading Mills and Boon books – but that might be taking it a bit far.
Yep, the last couple have not been up to par.
Peggy,
I can’t imagine what will happen in the next one.
I’m far behind in reading these. Hoping when I get to 8 I won’t be disappointed.
Jo,
It’s still a great read, so you probably will enjoy it.
