Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd ~ A Flavia de Luce Novel ~ by Alan Bradley

"The expression on his darkened face was ghastly:  a look of sheer horror.  The eyes bulged out in a  start that might have been amusing if their owner had not been dead.  The nostrils were flared and cavernous, like those of a horse about to bold:  as if they had flung themselves open in one last desperate attempt to drawn in oxygen.  The corners of the open mouth, inverted as they were - turned up instead of down, in mockery of a smile - made it clear that the man had, at the instant of death, been terrified.

I think yes.  The books are set in 1950's England that still has scars but has recovered a bit from WWII.  More than the time/location, I would like to BE Flavia De Luce and know stuff about chemistry.
