In the deep midwinter... There's a murder to solve.
Christmas is coming and the snow is falling, but with the de Luce family finances in a parlous state, Colonel de Luce has been forced to rent out the family home to a film company.
For Flavia and her sisters it's as if all their belated Christmases have come at once – but filming is soon slowed by a series of nasty accidents and then brought to a halt as a heavy snowstorm cuts Buckshaw off from the outside world.
As they prepare to wait out the weather, they are stunned by a gruesomely dramatic murder – and suddenly Flavia, in the midst of designing an experiment to prove the existence of Father Christmas – has another, far deadlier mystery to solve.
An Orion paperback 2012

In March 2018 I've read the Finnish translation of this book, Filminauha kohtalon käsissä (https://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/14915720/). This copy I bought already a few months ago from the Reuse Centre in Itäkeskus for 0,50 €.
I've read this ages ago and loved it, like all the Flavia -stories!
This book will leave by mail to a fellow bookcrosser who has it on her wishlist :)
Happy Valentine's day!
Ps. If you want, I can send you the rest of the books as well ;)

Thanks a lot Delenna for granting my wish from 2018! :o Has it really been so long... I must continue exploring the interesting life of Flavia asap. Thanks a bunch for the awesome frog pearl card and the yummy chocolate from Porvoo!
P.S. I'll read the whole series eventually, so I'm a little tempted to take your kind offer... but I think I've already got a couple of later volumes...

It felt good to be back in Buckshaw with the extraordinary de Luce family. This time they weren't alone: a film company and nearly the whole village is there when a snow storm forces them to stay indoors. And in the meantime Flavia is building her own Santa trap...
