I'd skipped this one because it wasn't available when I was ready for the next book, and then each book lead to the next so that I didn't want to backtrack until I got to the end, which I had. So it was great to learn more about Dieter, who'd seemed to pop up out of nowhere--but actually had been well introduced in this one. Although I'm not too pleased with her penchant for speaking untruths, and would prefer a character to demonstrate what bravery, skill, and good will there is in adhering to the truth, I continue to adore Flavia's affection for Dogger, and her enthusiasm over chemistry as she rattles off the names of compounds and what they do; art, as she describes famous paintings; music, as she talks about composers and their works, all in the course of ferreting out the hows, whys, and wherefors of the latest crime. ( ) To me, it was good, but as good as the previous book in the series. I adore, Flavia the super smart eleven year with a passion for chemistry. The book had tendency to drag once in a while, but Flavia knowledge of chemistry, keen desire to find out about her mother who died before she got to know her and her impatience with her two older sister kept it from dying. I love learning and I never took chemistry but the main character and sleuth, Flavia made appreciate the value of knowing as much chemistry as possible. I loved the part about pigeon poop, that was a delightful surprise. The evil person was beautiful drawn, you will hate her too, Really enjoyed this mystery set in 1950 and told from the viewpoint of an eleven year old girl, Flavia de Luce. Flavia is the youngest of three sisters whose father is often withdrawn and absorbed in his stamp collection, and whose mother was killed in a climbing accident soon after Flavia was born. Intelligent, imaginative and precocious, she is a keen amateur chemist with a special interest in poisons. Flavia views the adults around her with a shrewd clear eyed understanding and is extremely adept at manipulating them when necessary, but is at the mercy of her cruel older sisters. Her one ally is the manservant at her family's stately home, Dogger, who has psychological issues due to wartime experiences, but is also very astute. This is the second in a series which consists of seven books with an eighth due out this September. On the strength of this, I will definitely read the others.
The secret of the novel’s charm involves the way in which Flavia teeters on the border between precocity and childishness, spouting faux-cynical epithets that result from the fact that her intellectual gifts far outpace her emotional capacity. All in all, it’s a perfectly detailed and credible English village in the Agatha Christie manner, inhabited by people you can believe in and sympathize with.

Vorhang auf für Flavia und den Puppenmord In ihrem neuen spannenden Fall muss Flavia de Luce gleich zwei verzwickte Morde aufklären - die so unlösbar ineinander verworren zu sein scheinen wie die verwickelten Schnüre einer achtlos weggeworfenen Marionette ? Nie zuvor hat die junge Flavia de Luce einen so aufregenden Theaterabend erlebt: Der begnadete Puppenspieler Rupert Porson schlägt das Publikum in seinen Bann, und beim furiosen Finale gibt es neben Rauch und stiebenden Funken sogar eine echte Leiche! Die Polizei tappt zunächst im Dunkeln. Nur die brillante Hobbydetektivin Flavia bewahrt den Durchblick und findet heraus, dass jemand die elektrische Anlage der Bühne manipuliert hat. Und bald darauf erkennt sie, dass das ruchlose Verbrechen eng mit einem weiteren, seit mehreren Jahren ungeklärten Todesfall verwoben ist. Doch allmählich stellt sich die bange Frage, ob die neugierige Flavia ganz allein gegen den Strippenzieher in diesem mörderischen Marionettenspiel bestehen kann ... .
