I haven't read any Flavia yet - would this be a good starting point do you think? Or am I better starting at the beginning?

Oh, definitely better to start with the first book (The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie) as each follows on directly from the one before. Flavia stays eleven for most of the books and is twelve in the last full length one.

I think my link covers most of them according to me. For the full list in order see Fantastic Fiction.

You're welcome! It wasn't very well publicised, was it?

i find Flavia a very unconvincing heroine. THe Little Girl Who is Cleverer than All the Grownups is, quite rightly, a popular characeter in children's fiction, but I find her out of place in an adult novel. i would rather have a proper grownup detective. flavia does not talk or behave in any way I find probable for a child.
