The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches

by Alan Bradley

Book 6 of the Flavia de Luce series

The body of Flavia's long-missing mother Harriet returns to Bishop's Lacey by train, accompanied by officials and strangers connected to secrets the de Luce family has kept for years. A death at the station turns mourning into another investigation while Flavia searches for meaning in cryptic messages and family history. Revelations about Harriet's work and Flavia's inheritance enlarge the series beyond village murders into a hidden world of national service. Emotional and consequential, this installment suits readers who enjoy family mysteries, wartime secrets, eccentric households, and young detectives discovering that their gifts were recognized long before they understood them.
