Publisher's Summary

The absence of Flavia DeLuce’s mother, Harriet, has always cast a shadow, since her presumed death in a mountaineering accident in Tibet. Now, astonishingly, a specially commissioned train is bringing Harriet back to Buckshaw. But rather than putting the past finally to rest, Harriet's return is set to trigger a further series of bizarre and deadly events, as a most curious group of individuals converge on Buckshaw to pay their respects…

jumped the shark

I have very much enjoyed this series and characters within but this storyline was odd, jarring and quite unbelievable. A stepping stone for a new direction, it was badly conceived and most unlike the other books in tone and humour and its conclusion was most unsatisfactory. Flavia as detective no more. A very awkward transition.
