- Synopsis
- NATIONAL BESTSELLER • &“Flavia is incisive, cutting and hilarious . . . one of the most remarkable creations in recent literature.&” —USA TodayFlavia de Luce, a dangerously smart eleven-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders, thinks that her days of crime-solving in the bucolic English hamlet of Bishop&’s Lacey are over—until beloved puppeteer Rupert Porson has his own strings sizzled in an unfortunate rendezvous with electricity. But who&’d do such a thing, and why? Does the madwoman who lives in Gibbet Wood know more than she&’s letting on? What about Porson&’s charming but erratic assistant? 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? BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Alan Bradley's A Red Herring Without Mustard, discussion questions, and an essay by the author.
