À propos de cet audio

 ***SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MARTIN FREEMAN, JONATHAN PRYCE, AND TOBY JONES***

AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Amateur sleuth Flavia de Luce, along with her pestilent younger cousin, investigates the murder of a former public hangman and uncovers secrets that bring the greatest shock of her life.

Flavia de Luce has taken on the mentorship of her pestilent younger cousin Undine, whose main talent seems to be raising Flavia’s hackles, although in her best moments she shows potential for trespassing, trickery, and other assorted mayhem.
When local recluse and former hangman Major Greyleigh is found dead after a breakfast of poisonous mushrooms, suspicion falls on the de Luce family’s longtime cook, Mrs. Mullet. After all, wasn’t it she who’d picked the mushrooms, cooked the omelet, and served it to Greyleigh moments before his death?
But Flavia knows the beloved Mrs. Mullet is innocent. Together with Dogger, estate gardener and partner-in-crime, and the obnoxious Undine, Flavia sets out to find the real killer and clear Mrs. Mullet’s good name. Little does she know that following the case’s twists and turns will lead her to a most surprising discovery—one with the power to upend her entire life.

As always, Flavia's view of the world around her. She is wise beyond her years. And I love the references to other literature and the fleeting bits of humour.

I don’t think I would enjoy the series as much as I do if I was reading it. Jayne Entwhistle is simply outstanding. She really brings the book to life. Undine is my new favourite. And again, I think it’s the narrator who makes her seem so much fun.

Exceptional narrator

Oh dear. Flavia comes across many startling and life- insightful moments in this book - I believe Mr Bradley is laying down his pen. Sigh. No spoilers. I will say that the narrator does pitch Flavia’s voice to a smoother and less adolescent level, which greatly enhances the overall point. So sad when a great series ends. Thank you Mr Bradley.

Flavia Gains Insight and Strength of Character.

We all imagine how a character’s voice will sound. I have read all of Alan Bradley’s books but never imagined Flavia would sound like an elderly lady.

The voice does not fit the character.
