From Dagger Award-winning and internationally best-selling author Alan Bradley comes this utterly beguiling mystery, starring one of fiction’s most remarkable sleuths: Flavia de Luce, a dangerously brilliant 11-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders. This time, Flavia finds herself untangling two deaths—separated by time but linked by the unlikeliest of threads.
Flavia thinks that her days of crime-solving in the bucolic English hamlet of Bishop’s Lacy are over—and then Rupert Porson has an unfortunate rendezvous with electricity. The beloved puppeteer has had his own strings sizzled, but who’d do such a thing and why? For Flavia, the questions are intriguing enough to make her put aside her chemistry experiments and schemes of vengeance against her insufferable big sisters. Astride Gladys, her trusty bicycle, Flavia sets out from the de Luces’ crumbling family mansion in search of Bishop’s Lacey’s deadliest secrets.
Does the madwoman who lives in Gibbet Wood know more than she’s letting on? What of the vicar’s odd ministrations to the catatonic woman in the dovecote? Then there’s a German pilot obsessed with the Brontë sisters, a reproachful spinster aunt, and even a box of poisoned chocolates. Most troubling of all is Porson’s assistant, the charming but erratic Nialla. 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?

It is the summer of 1950 and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia's family calls home. A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath. For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw.

It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, apprentice wizard and police Constable Peter Grant, is off in the sticks chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing, but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.

Rotherweird is a twisted, arcane murder-mystery with shades of Deborah Harkness, Hope Mirrlees and Ben Aaronovitch, Mervyn Peake and Edward Gorey at their disturbing best. The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the avant-garde science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, Rotherweird's independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies the town or its history.

Nosy, Precocious and very Charming Little Sleuth
Flavia de Luce is pure delight and she is stealing her way into your heart effortlessly. After having read “The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” it is fun to be back in Bishop’s Lacey. Of course little Flavia de Luce is way too smart for an eleven year old and parts of the story and some of the coincidences are a little bit construed, but so what. Flavia’s common sense and chemical wizardry, her youthfulness and relentless curiosity are refreshing and make you feel good.
In this episode Flavia has to solve the mysterious death of Rupert Porson, a puppeteer, who got stranded in Bishop’s Lacey together with his charming female assistant. But as Flavia finds out soon, there are deeply hidden secrets, which link the puppeteer to a murder of a young boy a couple of years ago. Of course, nothing remains hidden from Flavia de Luce and she will unravel these mysteries long before the police has a chance to do that.
Great and harmless entertainment.

Spannend, frech und gut gelesen!
Der zweite Teil der Flavia-de-Luce-Reihe setzt die Geschichte der kleinen frechen Göre natlos fort. Man fragt sich, ob das Kind nie zur Schule gehen muss, wobei dieses Buch im Juli spielt, da hat es wohl Ferien.
Wie schon im ersten Band komme ich auch hier nur schwer damit zurecht, dass Flavia noch nicht einmal elf ist. Klar, wenn man sie sich vorstellt mit ihren Zöpfchen und ihrem Kleinmädchengesicht, mit dem sie die alten Damen bezirzt, dann kommt das schon rüber, aber der Kontrast zu ihrer Erzählsprache, ihrem chemischen Wissen und ihrer Logik ist einfach zu groß.
Abgesehen davon ist die Geschichte spannend, witzig und berührend. Allein schon Flavias Querelen mit ihren Schwestern sind sehr unterhaltsam, die Kleine hat es ja wirklich nicht leicht, wenn man ihr immer erzählt, sie sei adoptiert oder ihre Mutter hätte sich in einem Anfall von Postpartemdepression vom Berg gestürzt. Ihre ganze Aufmerksam keit wird jedoch in Anspruch genommen, wie ein fahrender Puppenspieler mit seiner Assistentin im Dorf eintrifft und dort eine atemberaubende Vorstellung gibt, die mit einem Todesfall endet.
Mit bewärhter Neugier, Aufmerksamkeit und Schläue löst Flavia den Fall und enthüllt auch noch ein gut gehütetes Geheimnis aus der Vergangenheit. Das Hörbuch wird hervorragend gelesen von Jayne Entwistle, die dem vorlauten Kind die richtige Stimme gibt.
