About the book: 2018 / A tragedy occurred in the de Luce family. Showing truly English stoicism, the de Luce sisters suffer in silence. Gloomy Flavia resurrects in her memory ways to obtain the fastest-acting poisons, in case she still decides to give up her life. Will the Buckshaw estate never be the same again? In an attempt to improve relations, Flavia and her sisters go on a boat trip. On their way is a small town that became notorious after the local vicar poisoned three parishioners during Holy Communion. In the river near the pier, the observant Flavia discovers the corpse of a young man. Nothing can distract the younger de Luce from sad thoughts better than a new investigation!
