This true story, as true as Lemony Snicket himself, begins with a rather puzzling note pushed under his door. Mr Snicket has investigated many things over the course of his long and suspicious career, but never his own death. Certainly, he didn't relish the task of unravelling the riddle of his demise, but he had no choice. It was put right in front of him, on his plate. If you are confused, you have every right to be. This book is about bewilderment. And life's big questions.
