About this listen

With the family finances in a parlous state, Flavia's father has rented Buckshaw to a film company for a location shooting.

When a heavy snowfall cuts the village off, the actors are talked into staging a benefit performance in the parish hall. But old jealousies surface, and the leading lady is murdered.

Flavia, who has been enlisted to help out behind the scenes, finds herself up to her knees in snow - and murder!

A Jolly Good Read

Any additional comments?

Oh, the joy of discovering a wonderful new author, and the double joy of finding there is a whole series! Flavia is a delightful mixture of intelligence and naïveté, spinning around the country on her bicycle Gladys. Eccentric characters abound, with enough depth to prevent them from being caricatures, while the 1950's details are charming. It is an escape to another world. Sophie Aldred reads beautifully, capturing Flavia's intelligence and enthusiasm, without letting her turn into a precocious brat.
