"If there was a sleuth who's bold, brilliant, and yes, adorable, it's Flavia de Luce." USA Today review.
It's Christmastime, and the precocious Flavia de Luce- an eleven year old sleuth with a passion for chemistry and a penchant for crime solving -is tucked away in her laboratory, whipping up a concoction to ensnare Saint Nick. But she is soon distracted when a film crew arrives at Buckshaw, the de Luces' decaying family English estate, to shoot a movie starring the famed Phyllis Wyvern. Amid a raging blizzard, the entire village of Bishop's Lacey gathers at Buckshaw to watch Wyvern perform, yet no one is prepared for the evenings shocking conclusion: a body found, past midnight, strangled to death with a length of film. But who among the assembled guests would stage such a chilling scene? As the storm worsens and the list of suspects grows, Flavia must use every ounce of sly wit at her disposal to ferret out a killer in plain sight.
