Product description
It's Christmas, and Flavia de Luce, a mischievous eleven-year-old obsessed with chemistry, retreats to her laboratory to morph into trapping Santa Claus. But he is soon disturbed by a film crew arriving at the patinated Luce estate, who are coming to Buckshaw to shoot a film starring the famous Phyllis Wyvern.
The actress is surprisingly kind to the lonely Flavia, making up for her sisters' wickedness. In fact, he generously even undertakes a performance of Romeo and Juliet. In the midst of a raging blizzard, all the residents of Bishops Lacey make their way to Buckshaw to see Wyvern and his partner. While the audience is obliviously having fun, the weather turns even harsher and the estate is permanently closed off from the outside world. The people trapped there patiently wait for the end of the storm, while mysterious family secrets are revealed. But no one is prepared for the shocking outcome of the evening: they find an actor strangled with a film roll.
Who among the gathered guests organized this blood-curdling performance? As the storm rages more and more, and as the circle of suspects gradually expands, it becomes more and more obvious to Flavia who the murderer is.
Like the heroine, the novel is poignant and surprisingly funny. At the same time, it is completely mesmerizing. A new Sherlock Holmes is born.
