“3.5 stars
In the second book in the Flavia de Luce series, a puppeteer is murdered during a performance. There is also an unsolved (ruled an accident) hanging of a little boy from a few years previous.
I'm still really liking Flavia as a character and Jayne Entwistle is still really good as the narrator of the audio, but I'd like to see a bit more plot. The “plot” in this one didn't really get going until half-way through, and even after that, there were a lot of tangents. I'm rating it just under the first book, but if I continue with the series (I'm not sure if I will), I am hoping to find more plot, or at least the plot being more in the forefront of the book. It's still getting rated as highly as it is due to Flavia herself, and the narrator of the audio.”
