Alan Bradley, the sixth Flavia De Luce mystery.

A film series will be out soon with Martin Freeman, Toby Jones and other familiar faces.

Protagonist is a precocious 11 year old chemist who uses scientific analysis and keen observational skills to solve the darkest of crimes. She is mentored and abetted by her late father's loyal manservant and comrade in arms. Set in post WW II England. Great fun.
