The life of the restless young detective Flavia de Luce, already exciting, has changed dramatically: she's sent away from home to Canada, to Miss Bodicote's Academy for Girls, where her mother, Harriet, studied many years ago. Flavia is in her element: before she can even greet the first dawn in her new home, adventure literally falls at her feet—she discovers a corpse in the chimney. The identity of the corpse, the time, and the cause of death are a mystery shrouded in darkness. Flavia must investigate this case without the help of her faithful Dogger, a friendly inspector, or her own chemistry lab. Will she be up to the task this time?
After being expelled from Miss Bodicote's Academy for Girls in Canada, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is eager to return home to England. But there, the girl receives sad news: her father is ill, and she's not allowed to see him. Flavia, with her accursed sisters and obnoxious cousin hovering around her, is growing bored in Buckshaw. On an errand for the vicar's wife, Flavia races on her trusty bicycle, "Gladys," to the house of woodcarver Mr. Sambridge to deliver a message. Seeing the house open, Flavia enters and stumbles upon the unfortunate man's body hanging upside down from the bedroom door. The only living creature she sees in the house is a cat. Flavia is inspired by the prospect of a new investigation. But what awaits the young detective will shake her to the core.
