It is the summer of 1950-and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw,
young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for
poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead
bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to
its beak. Then, hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the
cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath.
For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in
earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. "I wish I could say I was
afraid, but I wasn't. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most
interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life."
