Flavia is the most delightful heroine I've encountered in a long time. With an absent-minded father, occasionally cruel older sisters, a gossiping cook, and a beloved gardner forming her immediate world she frequently leaves her home to bicycle about her small English town snooping as only she can. This case involves the electrocution of a TV puppeteer stranded in the village by a broken van. The audience is mesmerized by his afternoon performance yet by the end of his evening show, he's been murdered. Bradley's ability to create a real eleven year old girl is fantastic and I look forward to book 3 in the series.
