Summary
In the wake of a family tragedy, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their… punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly something grazes her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia's grip is something else: a human head, attached to a human body. Sequel to "Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd". Followed by " The golden tresses of the dead". 2018.
