The murder investigation also sheds light on the mysterious hanging death of a young boy many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the book eminent readable is not the mystery, but rather Bradley`s writing style and strong characterization.  Flavia`s ongoing war with her two older sisters is so true to life and funny, that the reader finds themselves alternately cheering and scolding the young heroine.
