In the summer of 1950, young Flavia de Luce, a budding scientist with a love of poison, is fascinated by a string of unexplainable happenings at the once-grand Buckshaw mansion: There's a dead bird on the porch with an oddly pinned postal stamp in its beak. After a few hours, Flavia discovers a guy who is dying while laying in the cucumber patch and observes him.

When murder strikes Buckshaw, Flavia, who is both horrified and thrilled, realises that life has officially begun. Though I didn't feel terrified, I wish I could have said so. Quite the opposite. In my whole life, this was the most fascinating event that had ever occurred to me.
