Speaking from Among the Bones: A Flavia de Luce Novel

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR â€¢ NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER

From award-winning author Alan Bradley comes the next cozy British mystery starring intrepid young sleuth Flavia de Luce, hailed by USA Today as â€œone of the most remarkable creations in recent literature.â€
Â
Eleven-year-old amateur detective and ardent chemist Flavia de Luce is used to digging up clues, whether theyâ€™re found among the potions in her laboratory or between the pages of her insufferable sistersâ€™ diaries. What she is not accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancredâ€™s death, the English hamlet of Bishopâ€™s Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saintâ€™s tomb. Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove thereâ€™s never such thing as an open-and-shut case.
