Fresh from my enthusiasm for the first book in this series, I was eager to try the second. I was not disappointed! It was every bit as captivating and funny as the first (The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie). This author has a knack for quaint settings, quirky characters, and true wit. The new characters here are a couple of actors who put on puppet shows. Flavia and her family are in fine form too, as are the various inhabitants of Bishop's Lacey. Flavia continues her passion for chemistry and this is a neat learning opportunity as well.
The only thing that makes me hesitate to order the third book in the series is that I know it will take over my life! This is one of those delightfully addictive authors that can turn me into a hermit and a grouch when I'm interrupted. I'll have to time this carefully!
