À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A finger in a wedding cake is only the beginning in this deliciously shocking mystery featuring Flavia de Luce, “the world’s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth” (The Seattle Times).

Although it is autumn in the small English town of Bishop’s Lacey, the chapel is decked with exotic flowers. Yes, Flavia de Luce’s sister Ophelia is at last getting hitched, like a mule to a wagon. “A church is a wonderful place for a wedding,” muses Flavia, “surrounded as it is by the legions of the dead, whose listening bones bear silent witness to every promise made at the altar.” Flavia is not your normal twelve-year-old girl. An expert in the chemical nature of poisons, she has solved many mysteries, sharpening her considerable detection skills to the point where she had little choice but to turn professional. So Flavia and dependable Dogger, estate gardener and sounding board extraordinaire, set up shop at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, eager to serve—not so simple an endeavor with her odious little moon-faced cousin, Undine, constantly underfoot. But Flavia and Dogger persevere. Little does she know that their first case will be extremely close to home, beginning with an unwelcome discovery in Ophelia’s wedding cake: a human finger.

Praise for The Golden Tresses of the Dead

“Delightful . . . The mysteries in Mr. Bradley’s books are engaging, but the real lure is Ms. de Luce, the irreverent youngster.”—The Wall Street Journal

“A ghoulish question is at the heart of Bradley’s excellent tenth Flavia de Luce novel. . . . Bradley, who has few peers at combining fair-play clueing with humor and has fun mocking genre conventions, shows no sign of running out of ideas.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Confortable Détective Détectives amateurs Fiction Historiques Littérature et fiction Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense Comédie Spirituel

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A winning tenth mystery.”—People

“Flavia’s over-the-top use of alliteration . . . and proudly precocious, sesquipedalian vocabulary . . . along with the thoroughly endearing cast of characters, make this series’ tenth installment a laugh-out-loud winner.”—Booklist (starred review)

“Flavia de Luce hasn’t lost a sister, she’s gained a case—and what a case. . . . Perhaps the most consistently hilarious adventure of the alarmingly precocious heroine.”—Kirkus Reviews

Acclaim for Alan Bradley’s beloved Flavia de Luce novels, winners of the Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger Award, Barry Award, Agatha Award, Macavity Award, Dilys Award, and Arthur Ellis Award

“If ever there were a sleuth who’s bold, brilliant, and, yes, adorable, it’s Flavia de Luce.”—USA Today

“Delightful . . . a combination of Eloise and Sherlock Holmes.”—The Boston Globe

“[Flavia] is as addictive as dark chocolate.”—Daily Mail

I truly enjoyed this one. I hope we see more of cousin Undine. I am becoming increasingly fond of her.

Jayne Entwistle is pure joy to listen to.

My husband and I listened to this audiobook during a long car ride cross country. We have both listened to all the previous Flavia deLuce adventures and thoroughly enjoyed them. Flavia, the 13-year old heroine, is precocious, intelligent and very observant but vulnerable as well, an interesting combination. In this one she is beginning to grow up, noticing her own new and unusual thoughts and feelings. Dogger, the deLuce's butler and general handyman, plays a larger role in this novel than in previous stories. and he is an excellent, sympathetic supporter of young Flavia during the solving of this complicated mystery. All in all, a compelling audiobook. Hope Allan Bradley has more of these stories up his sleeve!

Great listen

Yet another excellent Flavia de Luce novel wonderfully narrated by Jane Entwistle. I can't imagine anyone else narrating these books.

It was lovely to see a lot more of Dogger in this book and to see the sweetness between him and Flavia. It was also good to see a different side to Undine and that she was of service in the case.

This is one of my favourites in the series to date.
