Flavia being Flavia, a budding chemist and sleuth, that gift is a charred and mummified body, which tumbles out of a bedroom chimney. Now, while attending classes, making friends (and enemies), and assessing the school s stern headmistress and faculty (one of whom is an acquitted murderess), Flavia is on the hunt forthe victim s identity and time of death, as well as suspects, motives, and means.

When it comes to solving multiple mysteries, Flavia is up to the task but her true destiny has yet to be revealed.
