Even more astonishing was the effect of the dead bird on her stamp-collector father, who appeared to be genuinely frightened.



Soon Flavia discovers something even more shocking in the cucumber patch and it's clear that the snipe was a bird of very ill omen indeed. As the police descend on Buckshaw, Flavia decides it is up to her to piece together the clues and solve the puzzle.
