Sandwich with Ash and Pheasant, The Three-Colored Cat Meowed

The life of the restless young detective Flavia de Luce, which is already far from dull, has taken a drastic turn: she is sent from home to Canada, to Miss Bodicot's women's academy, where her mother Harriet studied many years ago. Flavia is in her element: as soon as she meets the first dawn in the new place, adventures literally fall at her feet — she discovers a corpse in the chimney. The identity of the corpse, the time, and the cause of death are a mystery shrouded in darkness. Flavia must investigate this case, without her faithful Dogger, nor a friendly inspector, nor her own chemistry lab. Will she manage this time? After being expelled from Miss Bodicot's women's academy in Canada, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce can't wait to return home to England. But there, the girl is met with sad news: her father is ill, and she is not allowed to see him. Underfoot are the wretched sisters and the unbearable cousin, and she becomes bored in Buckshaw. On the orders of the vicar's wife, Flavia rushes on her trusty bicycle "Gladys" to the house of woodcarver Mr. Sandbridge to deliver a message. Seeing that the house is open, Flavia goes inside and stumbles upon the body of the unfortunate, hanging upside down on the door to the bedroom. The only living creature noticed by the girl in the house is a cat. Flavia is inspired by the prospect of a new investigation. But what awaits the young detective ahead will shock her to the core.
