Description
The
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
England
1950. At Buckshaw, the crumbling country seat of the de Luce family,
very-nearly-eleven-year-old Flavia is plotting revenge on her older
sisters. Then a dead bird is left on the doorstep, which has an
extraordinary effect on Flavia's eccentric father, and a body is found in the
garden. As the police descend on Buckshaw, Flavia decides to do some
investigating of her own.
The
Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag
A
travelling puppet show arrives in the sleepy village of Bishop's Lacey - and a
shocking murder takes place. For eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, the crime will
test her precocious powers of deduction to the limit - particularly when she
discovers that the murder echoes a tragedy which occurred many years before...
A
Red Herring Without Mustard
For
eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, a visit to a Gypsy fortune-teller is just a bit
of fun - until the old woman claims to see a vision of Flavia's mother, who
died when Flavia was a baby. When the Gypsy is brutally attacked, Flavia
wonders if her appearance in the village has stirred up memories of a tragic
event from the past. Flavia starts down a dark and twisting road to
discover the truth - but when a corpse is found in the grounds of Buckshaw, the
de Luce family seat, it seems as if the heart of the mystery is disturbingly close
to home.
I
Am Half-Sick of Shadows
Christmas
is coming and the snow is falling, but with the de Luce family finances in a
parlous state, Colonel de Luce has been forced to rent out the family home to a
film company. For Flavia and her sisters it's as if all their belated
Christmases have come at once - but filming is soon slowed by a series of nasty
accidents and then brought to a halt as a heavy snowstorm cuts Buckshaw off
from the outside world. As they prepare to wait out the weather, they are
stunned by a gruesomely dramatic murder - and suddenly Flavia, in the midst of
designing an experiment to prove the existence of Father Christmas - has
another, far deadlier mystery to solve.
Speaking
from Among the Bones
When
the tomb of St Tancred is opened, no one expects to find the body of the
organist, lying in a pool of blood, his handsome features covered by a gas
mask. Eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce is intrigued. Why would anyone want
to kill the much-admired organist in such a brutal and bizarre
fashion? Why place his body in the tomb? And what happened to the remains
of the previous occupant? The mystery leads Flavia deep into the past, to
a strange story of lost manuscripts and ancient relics...
