AS CHIMNEY SWEEPERS COME TO DUST

THE DEAD IN THEIR VAULTED ARCHES

Flavia's mother, Harriet, has always been presumed dead, killed in a mountaineering accident in Tibet. Now, astonishingly, she returns to Buckshaw, and series of bizarre and deadly events occur, as a most curious group of individuals converge to pay their respects…

THE GRAVE'S A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE

Flavia is enjoying the summer, spending her days punting along the river with her reluctant family. Languishing in boredom, she drags a slack hand in the water, and catches her fingers in the open mouth of a drowned corpse. Flavia needs to put her super-sleuthing skills to the test to investigate the murder of three gossips in the local church, and to keep her sisters out of danger.

I AM HALF-SICK OF SHADOWS

With the family finances in a state, Flavia's father has rented Buckshaw to a film company for a location shooting. When the actors are talked into staging a benefit performance, old jealousies surface, and the leading lady is murdered! As the list of suspects grows, Flavia investigates.

RED HERRING WITHOUT MUSTARD

For Flavia de Luce, the words of an old gypsy open up old wounds. Is she a faker, or is there some truth to her powers? And when the village is rocked by another ghastly murder, how will a growing fascination with gypsy lore help Flavia to solve it?

SPEAKING FROM AMONG THE BONES

The villagers of Bishop’s Lacey are holding their breath as St Tancred’s tomb is about to be opened after 500 years. But the body is not that of a saint; it is Mr Collicutt, St Tancred's celebrated organist. Flavia soon finds herself investigating one of Bishop's Lacey's most peculiar families.

THRICE THE BRINDED CAT HATH MEW'D

Flavia de Luce is back at Buckshaw when she makes a macabre discovery - the corpse of a reclusive woodcarver, in a house, empty except for a curiously uncurious cat. Curiosity may not kill this cat, however, what awaits Flavia will shake her to the core.

THE WEED THAT STRINGS THE HANGMAN'S BAG

A grisly murder during a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk in Bishop's Lacey village hall tests Flavia de Luce's powers of deduction to the limit - and provides a shocking insight into the darker corners of the adult world.
