The Grave's a Fine and Private Place
Book 9 of the Flavia de Luce series
After a devastating family loss, Dogger takes Flavia and her sisters on a boating holiday intended to offer distance from Buckshaw. Flavia promptly hooks a corpse from the river near a village where three women were poisoned in church and the vicar was executed for the crime. The new death raises questions about the old verdict while Dogger's steadiness helps Flavia investigate through grief. Reflective and atmospheric, this mystery suits readers who enjoy river journeys, reopened cases, village poisons, and detective partnerships growing from mutual respect and shared bereavement.
