About book

A gypsy fortune teller reveals a dark secret about Flavia's dead mother in the third in Alan Bradley's award-winning whimsical period crime series.

Welcome to Bishop's Lacey. A murder every country mile

For eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, a visit to a Gypsy fortune-teller is just a bit of fun - until the old woman claims to see a vision of Flavia's mother, who died when Flavia was a baby. When the Gypsy is brutally attacked, Flavia wonders if her appearance in the village has stirred up memories of a tragic event from the past.

Flavia starts down a dark and twisting road to discover the truth - but when a corpse is found in the grounds of Buckshaw, the de Luce family seat, it seems as if the heart of the mystery is disturbingly close to home.

ПРИГОДИ ФЛАВІЇ ПРОДОВЖУЮТЬСЯ!

«Копченая селедка без горчицы» - це третя частина з циклу про Флавію де Люс від канадського письменника Алана Бредлі. У цій частині на сімейній реліквії родини де Люс (щастить їм на трупи, чи не так?) знаходять труп місцевого пройдисвіта – на статуї Посейдона, просто на тризубі, з виделкою для омарів у носі. За декілька днів до цього, знаходять побиту циганку. Флавія, маленький геній з хімії, а також геніальний детектив, із задоволенням береться за цю справу, використовуючи свої глобальні знання та вміння з хімії, психології, літератури. Чи пов’язана якось смерть нечесного парубка та побиття циганки? Флавія неодмінно це виявить! Книжки про Флавію, як завжди, дивовижні. З іронічним гумором, з цікавими персонажами та заплутаним сюжетом. Одна з моїх найулюбленіших книжкових серій! Хотілося б, аби КСД продовжувало видавати Флавію рідною мовою, але, на жаль, цього поки що немає в їх планах. Однозначно рекомендую познайомиться із цим циклом, якщо ви любите детективи з заплутаними справами та цікавими персонажами!
