About this listen
With the family finances in a parlous state, Flavia's father has rented Buckshaw to a film company for a location shooting.
When a heavy snowfall cuts the village off, the actors are talked into staging a benefit performance in the parish hall. But old jealousies surface, and the leading lady is murdered.
Flavia, who has been enlisted to help out behind the scenes, finds herself up to her knees in snow - and murder!

Magnificent
Once again another fantastic book in the series.
Its a shame that only 6 of the 8 books are available on Audible as it leaves a big gap that needs completing.
Don't let that put you off though, every thing about Flavia should be devoured and cherished - she is brilliant and her story makes you laugh on moment and brings a tear to your eye the next. 10/10

Murder in a creaking ,snow bound stately home
If you could sum up I Am Half-Sick of Shadows in three words, what would they be?
Flavia unique sleuth
What did you like best about this story?
Flavia is a unique sleuth. She has a mind like a steel trap and the instincts of a bloodhound, she's 11. She has certain misconceptions, the pitfalls of being a child being lied to by adults in the way people lie to protect children ( and a couple of older sisters who lie just for the hell of it ).This leads to humour but Flavia's precocious intelligence,analytical mind and steely determination lead her on the trail of a murderer. Surrounded by a cast of characters varying from her unique, disjunctive aristocratic family and faithful retainers to a motley selection of villagers,actors,film crew and policemen Flavia tracks down the guilty. Funny and original.
What does Sophie Aldred bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A brilliant portrayal of a unique character. She IS Flavia
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
