Murder and puppetry come to the village of Bishop's Lacey... Second novel in the highly acclaimed Flavia de Luce mystery series.

Pigtails, poisons and murder-most-foul

A travelling puppet show arrives in the sleepy village of Bishop's Lacey - and a shocking murder takes place. For eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, the crime will test her precocious powers of deduction to the limit - particularly when she discovers that the murder echoes a tragedy which occurred many years before...

Praise for the historical Flavia de Luce mysteries:
'The Flavia de Luce novels are now a cult favourite' Mail on Sunday

'A cross between Dodie Smith's I Capture The Castle and the Addams family...delightfully entertaining' Guardian

Fans of M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin, Frances Brody and Alexander McCall Smith will enjoy the Flavia de Luce mysteries:

ПРИГОДИ ФЛАВІЇ ДЕ ЛЮС
«Трава, що сумку ката обвива» - це друга частина з циклу детективів про Флавію де Люс від канадського письменника Алана Бредлі. У цій частині до Букшоу, містечка, де живе Флавія, приїжджає відомий лялькар з своїм виступом. Під час своєї вистави лялькар несподівано падає замертво, і стає незрозуміло – вбивство це чи нещасний випадок? Справу можна було б легко зам’яти, але несподівано випливає справа багаторічної давності про маленького хлопчика, якого повішеним знайшли в лісі. Як пов’язані ці дві справи, здавалося? У покійного лялькаря знаходять ляльку з обличчям, точною копією якого є обличчя покійного хлопчика… «Трава,…» - це одна з моїх найулюбленіших книг із цього циклу! У цій частині особливо дивакуваті та цікаві персонажі, чого варта тільки Шалена Мег! Надзвичайно заплутана та цікава сюжетна лінія про загибель маленького хлопчика та «зв’язок» цієї справи з загибеллю лялькаря. Рекомендую ознайомитися з циклом, думаю, історії про пригоди Флавії де Люс не залишать вас байдужими, незалежно від вашого віку.
