Summary:
"Flavia de Luce didn't intend to investigate another murder - but, then again, Rupert Porson didn't intend to die. When the master puppeteer'
s
van breaks down in Bishop's Lacey, he puts on a show with his loyal assistant, the disarmingly charming Nialla, prone (by Flavia'
s
estimation) to strange bruises and long, solitary cries in graveyards. While Nialla plays Mother Goose, Rupert'
s
goose gets cooked, the victim of an electrocution that is too perfectly planned to be an accident. Putting down her sister-punishing chemistry experiments and picking up her bicycle, Gladys, Flavia uncovers long buried secrets of Bishop's Lacey, a seemingly idyllic town that nevertheless has a mad woman living in its woods, a prisoner-of-war with a soft spot for the English countryside, and two childless parents with a devastating secret. It'
s
possible Rupert Porson's van didn't break down so accidentally in this charming hamlet. It'
s
possible the police won't be able to solve his murder most ingenious. It'
s
possible that his killer may help guide Flavia in way over her eleven-year-old head, and to a startling discovery that reveals the chemical composition of vengeance. "--Publisher.
