England, 1951
Sixth book in the Flavia de Luce mystery series, Flavia and
her family, the village and even the former prime minister, are waiting at the railway station for the return of Harriet de Luce, who has been missing in the Himalayas
since 1941.
Flavia, daughter age eleven:
“Your mother has been
found.
Nearly a week after he
had made it, Father’s shocking announcement was still ringing in my ears.
Harriet! Harriet
found! Who could believe it?
Harriet, who had been
lost in a mountaineering accident when I was barely a year old; Harriet, whom I
can’t remember seeing, ever, with my own eyes.”
In this book, the de Luce family’s involvement during World
War II is finally explained.
Start with the first book, The Sweetness at the Bottom of
the Pie, where Flavia, budding detective and chemist, and the de Luce
family live on the crumbling estate, Buckshaw, which has survived for
centuries.
