early morning , shortly before four of the eleven-year clock Flavia de Luce stumbles in the yard of Buckshaw and falls to her knees and hands. One minute they would not have been surprised if it had emerged in the silvery light of dawn rose bush behind the dove landed a unicorn - it is now aligned lehmverschmiert to himself. When she turns around, they discovered something white rising from the cucumber. The white thing turns out on closer examination than male corpse.
The night before had Flavia's father Colonel de Luce a violent argument with this very dead and is arrested by the police under strong suspicion.

With the exception of the mention of eucalyptus trees that are nurtured and maintained in the greenhouse and the leaves on all Buckshaw as protection against colds and flu are hidden and the crime scene Pie plays the horticultural element in the book do not matter. Really get their costs, however, interested in chemistry and philatelists.
