✦ Synopsis

Review

“With its sharply drawn characters, including the hiss-worthy older de Luce sisters, and an agreeable puzzle playing out against the cozy backdrop of a British village at Christmas, this is a most welcome holiday gift for Flavia fans.”
— Publishers Weekly

“That serial charmer Flavia, wreathed in Tennyson and Shakespeare.”
— Kirkus Reviews

“We find in Flavia an incorrigible and wholly lovable detective; from her chemical experiments in her sanctum sanctorum to her outrage at the idiocy of the adult world, she is unequaled.”
— Library Journal(starred review)

Selected praise for Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce books:

“Bradley is a writer of great charm and insight, and he infuses even minor characters with incredible personality . . . Flavia de Luce, both eleven and ageless, is a marvel and a delight.”
— Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine , on* __The Weed That Strings the Hangman’s Bag

”A wickedly clever story, a dead-true and original voice, and an English country house in the summer: Alexander McCall Smith meets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Please, please, Mr. Bradley, tell me we’ll be seeing Flavia again soon?”
—Laurie R. King, bestselling author of Pirate King , on **The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie*
