Publisher's Summary

When a mysterious puppet show arrives in Bishop's Lacey, death is not far behind... a grisly murder during a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk in the village hall reaches back to an earlier crime that has cast a shadow over the village for years. Flavia's investigations test her powers of deduction to the limit - and provide a shocking insight into the darker corners of the adult world.

A bit of English amateur detective fun

The narrator pitches the mischievous 1950s chemistry-mad amateur detective 11 year old girl just right. Main character Flavia is a precocious smarty pants Cinderella to her 2 (mostly ignored) older sisters and runs rings around the adults. The occasional insight into the impact of WW2 on English villages adds a little gravitas to an otherwise good romp. Recommended.
