The Golden Tresses of the Dead
Book 10 of the Flavia de Luce series
At Ophelia de Luce's wedding, a severed finger is discovered in the cake and becomes irresistible evidence for Flavia's laboratory. The case intersects with the first client of the detective agency she has formed with Dogger, a woman claiming that important letters were stolen. Their investigation uncovers deception, poison, and connections between respectable appearances and darker business. Macabre and companionable, this installment suits readers who enjoy wedding disruptions, professional sleuthing, chemistry, and the evolving partnership between a brilliant girl and the adult who takes her abilities seriously.
