SYNOPSIS: Flavia De Luce is back, this time trying to unravel the mysterious death of a puppet master. At the root of it all (all puns unintended), she discovers another mysterious death, this time of a young boy several years earlier.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: I loved the original of this series, and this book lived up to my expectations for a sequel. Flavia is smart and funny, and the mystery unravels in a complex and unpredictable way. There is some violence, as you might expect in a mystery, and reference to an affair, but otherwise, it is very clean. I would definitely recommend it, especially for readers who enjoyed the first book.
