Flavia de Luce

Flavia de Luce Isn’t Going Anywhere Soon

Alan Bradley — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:44:24 +0000

One of the questions I am most often asked is this: “How many Flavia de Luce” books are there going to be?”

While I can’t really give a definitive answer, I can say that as of yesterday, four more have been added.

Kate Miciak, of Random House, New York, and Kristin Cochrane, of Doubleday, Canada, have announced the signing of a contract for an additional four novels in the series, bringing the total to 10.

The fourth book, “I Am Half-Sick of Shadows” was published in November, 2011, with the fifth to follow in early 2013.

Further information is given in Mark Medley’s ‘Afterword” column in today’s National Post:

More about maps

For those readers who have been asking for a map of Bishop’s Lacey, check out the ScribD website, where the opening chapters of the first four Flavia books may be read online – including the forthcoming “I Am Half-Sick of Shadows.”

The map is at the beginning of “The Weed That Strings the Hangman’s Bag”.

Thanks to Bantam Books for making this material available!
