When Major Greyleigh, a local recluse and former hangman, dies after eating a breakfast of poisonous mushrooms, suspicion falls on the de Luce family’s cook, Mrs. Mullet. Flavia works to prove Mrs. Mullet’s innocence with the help of Dogger, the estate gardener, and Undine. Their investigation leads to a discovery that changes Flavia’s life.
