Usually not a fan of books with 11 or 12 year old narrators, but enjoyed this.A mild and amusing mystery with an entertaining and imperfect tween narrator ( ) 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 Flavia is the youngest of three sisters whose father is often withdrawn and absorbed in his stamp collection, and whose mother was killed in a climbing accident soon after Flavia was born.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. Again, as with the first book in the series, whilst I enjoyed this murder mystery written from the view of the 11 year old prodigy Flavia de Luce, I found the self consciously "English" eccentricity a little too overdone, almost as if we were in a post WWII theme park version of the UK. The anglophile POW was just a step too far for me. All in all a pleasant read but I won't be seeking out the rest of the series.
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 ... .
