Agreed. She's kind of like Merricat from We Have Always LIved in the Castle...if she had devoted her morbid imagination and peculiar obsession with poisons towards the solving of crimes, rather than the committing of them. But Flavia is infinitely more fun and sociable with a witty and acid-like tongue.
I've only read the first book (The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie), but intend to read the rest in the series. It's that good.
