Synopsis
From Dagger Award-winning author Bradley comes this utterly beguiling mystery starring one of fiction's most remarkable sleuths: Flavia de Luce, a dangerously brilliant eleven-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders., From Dagger Award-winning and internationally bestselling author Alan Bradley comes this utterly beguiling mystery starring one of fiction's most remarkable sleuths: Flavia de Luce, a dangerously brilliant eleven-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders. This time, Flavia finds herself untangling two deaths--separated by time but linked by the unlikeliest of threads. Flavia thinks that her days of crime-solving in the bucolic English hamlet of Bishop's Lacy are over--and then Rupert Porson has an unfortunate rendezvous with electricity. The beloved puppeteer has had his own strings sizzled, but who'd do such a thing and why? For Flavia, the questions are intriguing enough to make her put aside her chemistry experiments and schemes of vengeance against her insufferable big sisters. Astride Gladys, her trusty bicycle, Flavia sets out from the de Luces' crumbling family mansion in search of Bishop's Lacey's deadliest secrets. Does the madwoman who lives in Gibbet Wood know more than she's letting on? What of the vicar's odd ministrations to the catatonic woman in the dovecote? Then there's a German pilot obsessed with the Brontë sisters, a reproachful spinster aunt, and even a box of poisoned chocolates. Most troubling of all is Porson's assistant, the charming but erratic Nialla. All clues point toward a suspicious death years earlier and a case the local constables can't solve--without Flavia's help. But in getting so close to who's secretly pulling the strings of this dance of death, has our precocious heroine finally gotten in way over her head?

Clever & funny
The 2nd Flavia deLuce detective novel. She is an 11 year old, not always nice, child. But how amazing & funny. I shouldn't like some of the sneaky thins she does, but I wish I had been that brave when I was 11/

The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag
Flavia de Luce is my new favorite heroine. She is smart and observant. Because she is eleven she is invisible to the adult population of Bishops Lacey. She has entree into every drawing room and goes unoticed as she picks up clues while sleuthing. She is unfazed by death and is an expert on poisons. Chemistry is her passion thanks to the laboratory and books of a long deceased uncle. While Flavia is the star of this story there is a cast of characters that Dickens would be proud of. From the victims of the crime to her eccentric family members, no one disappoints. This book does not suffer in comparison to "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie". I loved them both. Alan Bradley has created a character that I hope will be solving crimes well into the future.

A tiresome book.
Alan Bradley is just cranking out the books and this one is not nearly as good as his first Flavia de Luce mystery. His formula just isn't working any more.
