Über diesen Titel

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

On a spring morning in 1951, eleven-year-old chemist and aspiring detective Flavia de Luce gathers with her family at the railway station, awaiting the return of her long-lost mother, Harriet. Yet upon the train’s arrival in the English village of Bishop’s Lacey, Flavia is approached by a tall stranger who whispers a cryptic message into her ear. Moments later, he is dead, mysteriously pushed under the train by someone in the crowd. Who was this man, what did his words mean, and why were they intended for Flavia? Back home at Buckshaw, the de Luces’ crumbling estate, Flavia puts her sleuthing skills to the test. Following a trail of clues sparked by the discovery of a reel of film stashed away in the attic, she unravels the deepest secrets of the de Luce clan, involving none other than Winston Churchill himself. Surrounded by family, friends, and a famous pathologist from the Home Office—and making spectacular use of Harriet’s beloved Gipsy Moth plane, Blithe Spirit—Flavia will do anything, even take to the skies, to land a killer.

Praise for The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches

“Part Harriet the Spy, part Violet Baudelaire from Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Flavia is a pert and macabre pragmatist.”—The New York Times Book Review

“[Alan] Bradley’s award winning Flavia de Luce series . . . has enchanted readers with the outrageous sleuthing career of its precocious leading lady. . . . This latest adventure contains all the winning elements of the previous books.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Bradley’s latest Flavia de Luce novel reaches a new level of perfection as it shows the emotional turmoil and growth of a girl who has always been older than her years and yet is still a child. The mystery is complex and very personal this time, reaching into the past Flavia never knew about. . . . These are astounding, magical books not to be missed.”—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

“Excellent . . . Flavia retains her droll wit. . . . The solution to a murder is typically neat, and the conclusion sets up future books nicely.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“It’s hard to resist either the genre’s pre-eminent preteen sleuth or the hushed revelations about her family.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Flavia . . . is as fetching as ever; her chatty musings and her combination of childish vulnerability and seemingly boundless self-confidence haven’t changed a bit.”—Booklist Historische Krimis Historische Romane Hobbydetektive Krimis Thriller

Story is another belter. More angles on Flavia's relatives' spy work. As with all the other audio books in the series, I love the story, but Jayne Entwistle spoils it for me. She doesn't read the character too badly but mispronounces so many words (laboratory is not pronounced in the same way as lavatory, love) that it sets my teeth on edge and takes some effort to ignore.
Get another narrator! Please!

Great story but Oh! the narrator

I liked the story very much, but I think Jayne Entwistle‘s way of reading it is terrible! I am very glad that for the rest of the series there is an alternative version with a different speaker available!

Nice story, not so keen on the speaker

A bit different than the previous stories as it‘s not as much detective work and more personal in some ways. great though, especially as it adds more depth to some characters we already know and also some depth to the de luce family history as well.
i love the strangeness of everything. we knew that harriet died many years ago, finally we hear why and naturally there‘s an interesting, and dramatic story behind it. i wish there was a bit more Undine content as she seems like a match to Flavia in some ways.
I can‘t relate to comments criticizing Jane Entwistle‘s reading. I love the way she reads the story and i also have no troubles with her pronunciation (and i‘m not an English native so..)

Love it ♡

Still the character Flavia is sweet, smart an charming. And Mrs. Entwistle is reading her well. Only the story is getting weaker and stranger. I was a bit disappointed.

still a nice character
