Only when I am alone can I fully enjoy my own company.” Flavia de Luce Flavia de Luce spends a lot of time by herself somewhat by choice and somewhat by her incompatibility with the rest of the household.

I feel like I've already said everything I need to about this series in my short reviews of the other two books.

She’s a hoot. But, with each book, I also find her more & more endearing. And she really makes me appreciate chemistry. For the first time I’m enjoying Gladys as her own character, not just as an accoutrement of Flavia’s.

This time she burns down a gypsy woman's fortune-telling tent, takes the woman home over her father's presumed objections, and then finds the lady bludgeoned almost to death in her caravan. Next up is a meeting with the gypsy's semi-esta...more This third outing of Alan Bradley's irrepressible Flavia De Luce gets the series back up to top form. Flavia saves the life of an old Gypsy fortune-teller who has been beaten and left for dead.

I really enjoy this series, and this one is quite good. Bradley puts far less emphasis on Flavia’s chemistry wizardry, and relies more on her indomitable spirit, her curiosity, grace under pressure, quick thinking, and ability to lie through her teeth.

Bradley does a wonderful job, as usual, of portraying Flavia as an obnoxious, precocious and neglected little girl, who thinks she knows all-sees all, but is still just a child. There's still a mystery concerning her mother, I suppose Bradley isn't going to hand us that one anytime soon.

I must congratulate Alan Bradley on another unqualified success. His writing continues to bring joy to the reader. His descriptions are deft enough to make them jump off the pages.

Drugi roman iz serije u kojoj je glavna junakinja mlađahna detektivka Flavia de Luce uvlači našu mladu heroinu u nove uzbudljive i opasne zgode dok pokušava otkriti identitet ubojice koji se usudio počiniti umorstvo usred lutkarske predstave u seoskoj crkvi. Stjecajem okolnosti Flavia se sa svojom obitelji (uključujući tetu Felicity, novi lik u romanu) nađe u publici u trenutku ubojstva. Flaviji je odmah jasno da je riječ o ubojstvu a ne o prirodnoj smrti i ona se uz pomoć obiteljskog vrtlara odmah baca na rješavanje slučaja. Alan Bradley ponovo je oduševio novom pričom o čudesnoj djevojčici Flaviji de Luce, koju smo upoznali u njegovom prvom romanu, “Slast na dnu pite”. U novom romanu radnja je još uzbudljivija i uvjerljivija, a u selu Bishop’s Lacey pojavljuju se neki novi ekscentrični likovi. Zaplet u novom romanu još je vještije osmišljen, pa se čitatelj ovaj puta suočava s nekoliko osumnjičenika koji imaju vlastite motive za ubojstvo. No glavna snaga nije samo u zapletu nego i u nekim drugim elementima romana koji ga razlikuju od brojnih naslova iz tog žanra. Primjerice, tu je priča o borbi Flavijina oca da zadrži obiteljsko imanje Buckshaw. Tu su također i intrigantni likovi poput Dietera, bivšeg njemačkog ratnog zarobljenika zaposlenog na seoskoj farmi i priča o tome kako je njegov avion za vrijeme rata srušen iznad Engleske. Tu je i Flavijina duboka potreba da sazna što više o svojoj majci bez koje je ostala dok je bila još jako mala. Flavia de Luce se vratila, jača i bolja no ikad. Nakon što je pomogla riješiti slučaj ubojstva u “Slasti na dnu pite”, bacila se na rješavanje novih misterija. Još uvijek joj je jedanaest godina, još uvijek živi u Buckshawu sa svojim distanciranim ocem i dvjema zlobnim starijim sestrama. Naposljetku, generacije obitelji de Luce živjele su na imanju Buckshaw još od vremena Viljema Osvajača, iako mnogo grandioznijim životnim stilom od današnjih pripadnika te obitelji. Flavia i dalje dobar dio vremena provodi u svojem laboratoriju smišljajući otrovne načine da se osveti sestrama zbog toga što joj zagorčavaju život. U ovoj priči Flavia susreće dvoje boemskih lutkara, Ruperta i Niallu koji putuju zemljom u svom prastarom kombiju i priređuju lutkarske predstave. Ispostavi se da je Rupert prilično poznato televizijsko lice, iako Flavia nije nikad čula za njega jer njezin otac ne dopušta da u kući imaju televizor. Za vrijeme lutkarske predstave u crkvi Rupert pada na pozornicu mrtav. Inspektor Hewitt zadužen je za rješavanje ubojstva , i uz popriličnu Flavijinu pomoć zasigurno će uspjeti otkriti krivca. Jedan je kritičar primijetio da su Bradleyeva Flavia de Luce i Larssonova Lisbeth Salander možda najsnažniji književni likovi nastali u ovom stoljeću. Bradley je i ovaj put obavio sjajan posao ispričavši novu priču o mladoj heroini Flaviji de Luce. Nastavak je, ako je to uopće moguće, još bolji od prvog romana – likovi su još uvjerljiviji i iznijansiraniji a pridružilo im se još nekoliko otkvačenih pridošlica u Bishop’s Lacey. Kriminalistički zaplet je složeniji nego u prvom nastavku pa će se čitatelji naći suočeni s više sumnjivaca a svaki od njih imat će vlastite motive za ubojstvo. No i ovaj puta snaga priče ne počiva toliko u rješavanju misterije koliko u ostalim elementima romana u kojima je autor pokazao vještinu i inovativnost što su mu priskrbile nekoliko književnih nagrada te nepodijeljene pohvale publike i kritike. O autoru: Alan Bradley rođen je u Torontu a odrastao u Cobourgu u državi Ontario. Kao inženjer elektronike radio je na radijskim i televizijskim postajama u Ontariju i na Sveučilištu Ryerson u Torontu. Nakon što je odlučio otići u prijevremenu mirovinu kako bi se posvetio pisanju, Bradley objavljuje priče za djecu i podučava na kolegiju o pisanju scenarija i televizijsoj produkciji na Sveučilištu Saskatchewan. U suradnji s Williamom Sarjeantom piše knjigu “Ms Holmes of Baker Street” u kojoj autori iznose zapanjujuću tezu da je jedan od najslavnijih svjetskih detektiva, Sherlock Holmes, zapravo žena. Kontroverzna knjga donosi mu široku popularnost, uz brojne novinske intervjue i gostovanja u radijskim i televizijskim emisijama. Za “Slast na dnu pite”, prvi roman iz serije detektivskih priča u kojima je glavna junakinja mlađahna detektivka Flavia de Luce, Bradley 2007. dobiva nagradu Britanske udruge pisaca kriminalističkih romana – Dagger Award. Knjiga je obasuta nepodijeljenim pohvalama i kritike i publike, pa su zaredale i druge nagrade i priznanja: Goodreads „Favorite Hero of the Year“ Award Macavity Award, Barry Award, Agatha Award, Dilys Award, Arthur Ellis Award i Spotted Owl Award.
