Inhaltsangabe

Does one need four fully-grown foxgloves for decorating a dinner table for six guests? Or is it six foxgloves to kill four fully-grown guests? Sophronia's first year at school has certainly been rousing. First, her finishing school is training her to be a spy. (Won't Mumsy be surprised!) Secondly, she gets mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and has a cheese pie thrown at her. Now, as Sophronia sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room, she learns that there may be more to a school trip to London than at first appears....

Vampires, werewolves, and humans are all after the prototype Sophronia recovered in Etiquette & Espionage, which has the potential to alter human and supernatural travel. Sophronia must try to uncover who is behind a dangerous plot to control the prototype...as well as survive the London season with a full dance card.

It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school. Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners - and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped.

On behalf of queen, country...and the perfect pot of tea. When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama (Rue to her friends) is given an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female would under similar circumstances - names it the Spotted Crumpet and floats to India in pursuit of the perfect cup of tea. But India has more than just tea on offer. Rue stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves.

Lady Preshea Villentia has four dead husbands and a nasty reputation. What society doesn't know is that all her husbands were marked for death by Preshea's employer. And Preshea has one final assignment. It was supposed to be easy, a house party with minimal bloodshed. Preshea hadn't anticipated Captain Gavin Ruthven - massive, Scottish, quietly irresistible, and...working for the enemy. In a battle of wits, Preshea may risk her own heart - a terrifying prospect, as she never knew she had one.

Großartiger 2. Band der 2. Reihe von Gail Carriger

Ich mochte die Parasol Protectorate (Im deutschen 'Lady Alexia') Bände von Gail Carriger. Die Finishing School Reihe (bisher nur auf englisch erschienen) spielt 20 Jahre vor dem Start der anderen Romane. Dennoch empfehle ich sie in der Reihe zu hören in der sie geschrieben wurden.

Es ist grandios wie hier die Geschichte von Sophronia weiter geführt wird, sie Charakteren begegnet die in der vorangeganen Reihe schon erwähnt werden und wie Geschichte bei der die Ergebnisse vielleicht ansatzweise bekannt sind, dennoch enorm spannend erzählt wird. Zudem ist es mal wieder gespickt mit großartigem Wortwitz, einfallsreichtum und Modedetails.

Moira Quirk ist eine großartige Sprecherin, weit besser als ihr deutsches Gegenstück. Auch wenn viele komplizierte Wörter einzug finden halte ich die Buchreihe auch in Englisch für ungeübte für geeignet.
