Who on earth would place a dead finger in a wedding cake? And why? And who but Flavia de Luce can crack the case?

I’m delighted to announce that “The Grave’s a Fine and Private Place” will be published on January 30th in the US and Canada.

Believe me, it’s been like riding the whirlwind! With a new Flavia novel – the seventh, As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust out on January 6^th (having been moved forward from March 10^th); a new Flavia short story – the first ever, called The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse -out in ebook on December 9^th; paperback publication in Canada and the US of The Dead In Their Vaulted Arches on December 31^st; a new release of my memoir The Shoebox Bible in ebook format published in Canada on November 4th; the design and re-establishment of a whole new website – well, you get the idea. There’s scarcely been time to breathe.
