It all began with that awful business about my mother... Flavia de
Luce's world is turned upside down when she is banished to Miss
Bodycote's Female Academy in Canada - her mother Harriet's old
boarding school. With its forbidding headmistress, intimidating
teachers and bizarre rules, adapting to Miss Bodycote's could be a
matter of life and death. But Flavia is soon on familiar ground
when she is presented with a gruesome puzzle to solve. And the
mystery of a withered corpse is only the beginning. Girls have been
disappearing from Miss Bodycote's, leading Flavia to wonder what
exactly the academy's true purpose is, and why were her father and
Aunt Felicity so keen that she enrol? 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'
