Description Concering Books The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag (Flavia de Luce #2)
Flavia de Luce, a dangerously smart eleven-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders, thinks that her days of crime-solving in the bucolic English hamlet of Bishop’s Lacey are over—until beloved puppeteer Rupert Porson has his own strings sizzled in an unfortunate rendezvous with electricity. But who’d do such a thing, and why? Does the madwoman who lives in Gibbet Wood know more than she’s letting on? What about Porson’s charming but erratic assistant? 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?

Even better than the first one, "The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag" was so lovely!!! These books are so unique because what Alan Bradley does is takes his readers through layers of imagination. When I read his books I literally see everything and I'm transported to a different time. He is so great at writing characters and setting its so fun and fantastic! This book had a charming plot even though it was about murder. The puppeteer idea was very storybook and had me hooked from the very
I don't read many mystery books, but I am hooked on this series--and have gotten my mom hooked as well. In this second book, 11-year-old Flavia continues her adventures in the British countryside where she roams wild with her unhealthy interest in murder and poison. In this book, a visiting puppeteer is murdered, and the cast of suspects is wide. Bradley, a Canadian, has a magnificent knack for creating characters who are brilliant and quirky in that perfectly British mold. Really, it would be a
The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag is the 2nd book in the Flavia De Luce series. I liked the novel less than the first one as I could not connect with the characters in the beginning and I was a little bit annoyed by Flavia. That changed soon enough and the book became entertaining, as I was expecting. For those who do not know this series, it is about a 12 years old girl living in an old English mansion with her father and two sisters after the 2nd World War. Flavia is very curios,
I think I liked this second book even better than I did the first book in the series, even though I didnt get to experience the same novelty of Flavia as a character.I love Flavia and Flavias narration. Shes such a hoot. It helps to have a very warped sense of humor to enjoy this mystery series, and I am the proud possessor of a warped sense of humor, which allows me to enjoy all sorts of humor.I knew too much about the mystery too soon, sort of, but the whole joy of this series is Flavia as a
Part of me (my quieter voice) was saying, Give it up. Dont meddle. Go home and be with your family. But another part was more insistent: The library isnt open until Thursday, it seemed to whisper. No one will see you. But the lock, I said aloud. The place is locked. Since when did a locked door ever stop you? replied the voice. Nothing can stop Flavia de Luce in her pursuit of knowledge. The adults should be rightfully terrified of her, especially when they have something to hide from the
Suppose you're at a puppet show and the puppeteer falls from the rafters, dead. It's not an accident. He's been murdered. What would you do? Well, if you're feisty, eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, who has a passion for poisons, you'd solve the mystery and find the murderer.And that exactly what Flavia does in Alan Bradley's second Flavia de Luce mastery, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag. Puppeteer Rupert Porsona famous BBC personalityarrives in Bishop's Lacey, along with his downtrodden
