À propos de cet audio
"The world's greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth" (The Seattle Times), Flavia de Luce, returns in a twisty new mystery novel from award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Alan Bradley.
In the wake of an unthinkable family tragedy, 12-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his female parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly, something grazes her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, imagining herself Ernest Hemingway battling a marlin, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia's grip is something far better: a human head, attached to a human body. If anything could take Flavia's mind off sorrow, it is solving a murder - although one that may lead the young sleuth to an early grave.
©2018 Alan Bradley (P)2018 Random House AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"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)
"Longtime series narrator Entwistle knows her characters and deploys their divergent personalities to excellent effect. She also nicely colors other parts, from village undertaker to grand dame, and aces multicharacter conversations. Flavia fans will be delighted." (AudioFile)

OUTSTANDING
Another outstanding performance by Jayne Entwistle of an incredibly talented author's brainchild. It's selfish, but I only wish Mr. Bradley was younger, so he could provide us with many more years of his amazing talent. Being Canadian myself, I am proud of this National Treasure. Learned chemistry, literature, history, music, botany, and religion ( to name the obvious modalities) are all shared with fervent fun and wit. Flavia is growing up with many emotional hardships, but these are all peppered with precocious good fun.

Another great Flavia De Luce story.
Jayne Entwistle is the perfect narrator. I could not imagine anyone else as Flavia. I can't wait for the next one.
