The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag: A Flavia de Luce Mystery Audiobook

" It's good but not as good as the first book. Flavia is up to her old tricks; investigating a long unsolved mystery that is brought to the forefront after a traveling puppeteer's van breaks down. The writing is great but I still have my same complaint. There is not an eleven year old on this earth that thinks or speaks like Flavia. It does get in the way of the story for me sometimes so I pretend she's fourteen. The mystery is intriguing and I was surprised by the ending which I like. No fun seeing the killer a mile away. I will definitely read the third and fourth of the series and then I must switch genres. I'm all mysteried out. "

" Love Flavia... "

" Flavia is still a delightful character, but the novel takes forever to get going. The plot moves from complex to convoluted. "

" a bit of a redo of the first one, but still quite good. "

" I would give this a 4.5 if I could. I am really loving Miss Flavia, she's such a fun character and I again found myself laughing out loud in certain passages, she has such a creative mind. I'm looking forward to the next adventure with her!! "

" I'm looking forward to reading the next books in this series. It's always nice to find an enjoyable series -- thanks Shauna. "

" The second Flavia de Luce, another light entertaining book--good balance to technical reading and writing all day. "

" I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. A little slower than the first Flavia mystery but I liked the background information/history of Bishop Lacey's residents. "

" The main character totally makes these books. I liked this one more than the first, but it probably was because I knew what to expect. "

" Cute, but the plot was a bit thin this time around, and it stretched a bit at times. Hoping for something a bit better in the next book. "

" This is another entertaining book! Flavia is in everyone's business and knows all there is to know. Following her around is such a relaxing adventure for me. "

" These stories are just so good. Where does the author get all these way out details and historical facts that he throws in. The main character, Flavia DeLuce, is just so real and outlandish. These books would translate so well to a TV series on PBS. Keep them coming, Mr. Bradley. "

" Excellent follow-up to The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Flavia is at it again, this time investigating the murder of a puppeteer. "

" I liked this book a lot more than the previous one in the series. I felt like it brought more of Flavia's mischievous side back out and more of her love of chemistry was emphasized. The story line was more interesting to me as well. "

" Still not charmed by Flavia. "

" this was another great book in this series. again flavia solves the whole crime before the police. she uses her chemistry knowledge to deduce a number of important details. I wish I could be flavia! "

" Too many similies, not enough plot. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Flavia, her family and the people in the village are intriguing and quirky in the best way. I look forward to learning more about them all, but especially Flavia. The mystery is a good one, too! "

" I quite enjoyed this second book in the series - not as complex as first but the characterizations are fun and Flavia is becoming more aware of herself and her interaction with others. A fun read and very entertaining. "

" I wasn't as sucked in as I was with the first book, but this one was still excellent. Flavia is as fun as ever. "

" I enjoyed this one slightly less than the first in the series. While Flavia was equally as precocious, I did not enjoy the secondary and tertiary village characters quite as much with the sole exception of the strong-willed and fast-swooping aunt. On to the third. "

" I just love Flavia! "

" I wasn't sure at first, despite the great writing, because I don't always like child protagonists, but I was completely won over by the end. "

" I still really enjoyed it, but not as much as the first. I'll continue to read the series. "

" I tried to listen to this, but Flavia must be read. She is in the woods, over the hill, down the road on Gladys, up in the dovecoat, and next to the puppet master. "

" Very enjoyable read &amp; I'm looking forward to reading the other 2 Flavia De Luce books. Thanks for recommending it Bobbi?<br/> "

" Wonderful. See my review of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. "

" Another delightful Alan Bradley read. A little darker, a little more sinister, and a wonderful escape from my boring daily life. :) I could only be so lucky to have a little girl like Flavia... "

" Not quite as good as the first, but still lots of fun. "

" Loved this second book also, the story of Flavia and her travels of her bike Gladys. Now, can't wait for the 3rd book in this series. "

" This was another clever Flavia DeLuce mystery. She is a fun heroine to follow. "

" Slightly disappointing after how much I loved the first book. Still enjoyable though. And Flavia remains an intriguing and peculiar heroine. <br/><br/>2.5 stars "

" Fantastic series, terribly fun characters, good solid mysteries. I love this series. "

" Not quite as good as book #1, but still very enjoyable and fun to read. I love Flavia's character and the surrounding village - and also faithful Dogger. Looking forward to reading the third book soon : ) "

" Really fun! The main character solving the mystery is very likeable and interesting. "

" Not quite as jaw-droppingly great as the first one, but I still loved Flavia's twists and turns and obsession with poison. Will definitely read the third one! "

" This book was just as good as the first book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. These books would make a great seriew on PBS. "
