Description
In 1952, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is drawn into a family celebration that turns abruptly sinister when a human finger is discovered hidden in her sister’s wedding cake. With her sharp mind, chemical curiosity, and a talent for noticing what others miss, Flavia follows the unsettling clues into a web of secrets that reaches far beyond the church doors. As the mystery deepens, she must navigate grief, suspicion, and the dangerous allure of buried truths—while relying on her own unconventional methods to uncover who—or what—lies behind the shock. Blending brisk, witty storytelling with a richly atmospheric sense of place, this installment showcases Alan Bradley’s signature charm and Flavia’s unforgettable voice as themes of mortality, justice, and the mysteries of the past come sharply into focus.
