Rendition Conducive To Books The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse (Flavia de Luce #6.5)
Murder! the letter says, Come at once. Anson House, Greyminster, Staircase No. 3. How can Flavia de Luce resist such an urgent plea? After all, examining a dead body sounds like a perfectly splendid way to spend a Sunday. So Flavia hops upon her trusted bicycle, Gladys, whose rubber tires hiss happily along the rainy road, and arrives at her father’s mist-shrouded old school. There, a terrified boy leads her to the loo where, sitting in a bathtub, is what appears to be a statue. But, no: To Flavia’s surprise, the thing is in fact a naked dead man. Save his face, he seems to have been carved out of copper. Never one to shy away from the macabre, Flavia gets to work—only to find that when an investigation begins with a metallic cadaver, ever more curious twists are to be expected.

Now that was a really disappointing short story. Mediocre. Bradley can do better.A Flavia De Luce short story. She's up to what she does best. Loved this.
Now that was a really disappointing short story. Mediocre. Bradley can do better.
A short, very short story. Point proven that a character as rich as Flavia can not possibly fit within the confines of a short story. Mr. Bradley, really?
Flavia de Luce gets a lot of love in the book forums where I hang out online, and so I thought it might be fun to try the newest short story as a kind of introduction until I could get the first of the series from the library. Alas, I think I did myself (and possibly Flavia) a disservice in reading this later entry in the series before she and I had been properly introduced. I found it all less charming than I expected to. Flavia's expertise can't be denied, but her personality seemed a lot less
A filler book.The action all happened quickly because the book was so short. Usually there is more reflection and quiet in the book, the action does not happen all at once. Because of its quick answers, it really does not feel like a Flavia de Luce novel.I am realizing a little too much how much Alan Bradley is milking this series and it is disappointing me just a bit. I don't know if I want to continue reading the series, or maybe preserve my fond memories of it and how the sixth book ended.
Short story about Flavia's first case as a paid consulting detective. Fast fun read.
