Its foyer alone is bigger than the parish hall and could fit every man woman and child in Bishop's Lacey to a soul. It's almost Christmas Eve but - to no one's surprise - all of the village inhabitants fight their way through a raging snowstorm to be in the audience that magical night. As the actors take to the stage however the blizzard sets in and it becomes clear that the villagers will have to hunker down at Buckshaw for the night.

But who among the assembled guests would stage such a chilling scene As the storm worsens and the list of suspects grows Flavia must use every ounce of her chemical cleverness and crime-solving prowess to ferret out a killer hidden in plain sight. But when she does piece the puzzle together and deduce who has committed this twisted crime will Flavia be able to escape in one piece Doubleday Canada hardcover
