Would you be surprised if I told you that while on a short family vacation led by Dogger, the de Luce's faithful family retainer, Flavia accidentally discovers a body? Six months after the sudden death of their father, Flavia, Daffy, and Feely have accompanied Dogger on a river boating trip. When they reach the site of the church of the infamous murderer, Canon Whitehead, Flavia discovers a body in the water. The body, dressed in theatrical costume, turns out to be that of Canon Whitehead's troubled son, Orlando. Was it suicide, or could it be murder? Of course, Flavia manages to get on the wrong side of the local constable during her investigation.
This latest book in the series is just as delightful as its predecessors, especially the developing insights into Dogger's mysterious past. If you are a Flavia de Luce fan, you won't be disappointed!
