This precocious 12-year-old continues to roam the countryside of Bishop’s Lacey on her bicycle, Gladys, while experimenting in her home laboratory, situated in the dilapidated Buckshaw manor.

Flavia is convinced of Mrs. Mullet’s innocence and endeavors to solve the crime, determined to clear the cook’s name. Her sleuthing skills are put to the test as she uncovers a labyrinth of secrets, all while navigating the awkward steps toward adulthood.

A Colorful Backdrop and Rich Characterization
