I loved the imagery that this story conjured up in my mind. A beautiful old castle in the highlands of Scotland, in a remote spooky village, in the dead of winter with a traveling troupe of actors. It doesn’t get better than this. The characters are charming and the story is entertaining. I found myself wanting to find this village and spend a winter there myself. The reader brought the whole scene to life. All in all, a great read!

On a spring morning in 1951, 11-year-old chemist and aspiring detective Flavia de Luce gathers with her family at the railway station, awaiting the return of her long-lost mother, Harriet. Yet upon the train’s arrival in the English village of Bishop’s Lacey, Flavia is approached by a tall stranger who whispers a cryptic message into her ear. Moments later, he is dead, mysteriously pushed under the train by someone in the crowd. Who was this man, what did his words mean, and why were they intended for Flavia? Back home at Buckshaw, the de Luces’ crumbling estate, Flavia puts her sleuthing skills to the test.

Would you listen to The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches again? Why?
I love the characters in this series and the way they are brought to life with so much care, compassion and humor.
What did you like best about this story?
I love Falvia! She is smart and mischievous, yet has a sweet heart and a noble spirit. I love the sweetness of her relationship with Dogger and the zeal with which she recites the properties of her favorite poisons. This book is particularly bittersweet and touching.
What does Jayne Entwistle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
This narrator makes the book for me! She brings so much character to Flavia- I find myself repeating phrases later in the day, trying to get the inflection just right...
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I absolutely love this series. But this book made me tear up several times simply because It is filled with characters who are decent and kind, despite their flaws, deep sorrow and dysfunction.
