I have collected these all and am up to date except for the current one. Over the past three novels I've fallen hard for the audio versions. I really like the narrator. So when the books come out I buy them and then order the audio from the library. I'm in the queue right now and impatiently waiting for the next one. Carl V.

You are so right that Flavia helps fight stereotyping of girls' aptitudes & abilities. Besides the books are fun. Glad to know about the quality of the audio books.
