Flavia looks forward to Christmas, a time when she can put into affect a plan to trap Father Christmas to prove to her sisters that he is indeed real. But to help abet the financial hardships her family faces this year there will be an extra load of people for the holidays; a famous movie star will be shooting a new film at Buckshaw and it promises to be an event no one will forget. Before filming commences the vicar persuades the star to put on a charity event for the village at Buckshaw. Amidst a raging blizzard, the folk of Bishop's Lacey eagerly watch the magic happen. But when they find themselves stranded at the house, things begin to take a turn for the worse. Not only is half the village splayed about the house as they wait the storm out but a murderer lies amongst them. When Flavia finds the star dead in her room dressed in a costume straight out of one of her movies there is no doubt that this will take her special talents to solve. As the storm continues and turmoil starts to bubble below the surface of gentility can Flavia figure out what's happening or could this be her own final curtain call?
