The new Flavia de Luce novel, The Grave's a Fine and Private Place, by Alan Bradley, is a worthy addition to the series. Dogger has taken Flavia and her sisters out on a boat where they discover a body. Who is it? Also in this small village is a church where the vicar was charged with killing three of his parishioners. Did he? Once again Flavia is on the trail to solve these mysteries. Love the interaction of the main characters here!

Posie Parker was hoping for some time off after her first case (read Murder Offstage for that) but finds herself busier than ever. In The Tomb of the Honey Bee, by L.B. Hathaway, she is asked to find a missing brother and in so doing, she uncovers family secrets, hidden tunnels, and an unusual coin. All dealing with honey. From the British Museum, to excavations in Egypt, this is just a fun read. I love how the author explains at the end of her books what events are true, and which are the ones she made up. This is the second in the Posie Parker Mystery series.
