Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Award-winning author Alan Bradley returns with another captivating tale featuring the clever and unflappable eleven-year-old sleuth, Flavia de Luce. This precocious chemist, with her passion for poisons, delves into a series of mysteries in the hamlet of Bishop's Lacey, including a missing child, a fortune-teller, and a corpse discovered in her own backyard. Flavia, intrigued by the old Gypsy woman's fortune-telling, is shocked to find the woman bludgeoned in her caravan. Was this a revenge act from those who believed the soothsayer had abducted a local child years ago? Flavia, familiar with the thrill of settling scores—especially with her two odious older sisters—considers the connection to the missing baby and the mysterious sect conducting secret rites by the river. While pondering these possibilities, she stumbles upon another corpse: a notorious layabout caught in her family's drawing room. Riding her trusty bicycle, Gladys, across the countryside, Flavia uncovers unexpected twists, including an elegant artist with a significant portrait that may reveal the biggest mystery of all: Flavia's own identity. As red herrings accumulate, Flavia must sift through clues, both fishy and foul, to unravel dark deeds and dangerous secrets.
