Welcome to Bishop's Lacey. A murder every country mile 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. Praise for the historical Flavia de
Luce mysteries: 'The Flavia de Luce novels are now a cult
favourite' Mail on Sunday 'A cross between Dodie Smith's I Capture
The Castle and the Addams family...delightfully entertaining'
