About
In this charmingly dark mystery, precocious young sleuth Flavia de Luce finds herself drawn into a peculiar case when a celebrated puppeteer arrives in the quiet English village of Bishop’s Lacey. What begins as an evening of entertainment soon turns ominous, and Flavia must rely on her sharp wit, scientific curiosity, and irreverent charm to untangle secrets hidden beneath the town’s polite surface.
