In the old English estate of Bookshaw - one of those sleepy and quiet places that constantly, as if by magic, attract various troubles and incidents - live eccentric Colonel de Luce and his three daughters.
While the colonel is frantically searching for ways to save his family from ruin by selling off his stamp collection and the family silverware, his youngest daughter, the restless smart girl Flavia, discovers a corpse: someone, obviously not lacking in cynicism and a sense of humor, has hanged local hustler Brookie Harewood from the fountain's trident. Working in parallel with the stubborn Inspector Hewitt, the ubiquitous little sleuth solves the horrific crime. Meanwhile, the father of the family gives Bookshaw in rent for filming a movie, but does not pass and two days, as nosy Flavia finds the performer of the main role and a favorite of the public Phyllis Weaverne dead ... While the clumsy police are investigating, our not by years clever Miss de Luce penetrates into the innermost secrets of the movie star and finds the killer - and also plans an action to capture Santa Claus, prepares the largest fireworks in the history of Bookshow and discovers new skeletons in the past of his extraordinary family. "Smoked Herring Without Mustard" and "Oh, I'm Sick of Ghosts" are two thrilling stories about inquisitive adventurer Flavia de Luce under one cover!
