I've read The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag by Alan Bradley which was set in England in the early 1950s. The story is told the first person by 11 year old Flavia de Luce a precocious girl with a fascination for poisons and death. She investigates the murder of a puppet man when he comes to the village. It's a good story if you can suspend belief that an 11 year old could behave this way. She is a great character with intelligence, wit, imagination and humour. Enjoy the ride (or read)! 31/2/5
