    "Flavia de Luce has taken on the mentorship of her odious, moon-faced cousin Undine, who has come to live at Buckshaw following the death of her mother. Undine's main talent, aside from cultivating disgusting habits, seems to be raising Flavia's dander, although in her best moments she shows potential for trespassing, trickery, and other assorted mayhems. When Major Greyleigh, a local recluse and former hangman, is found dead from a breakfast of poisonous mushrooms, suspicion falls on the de Luce family's longtime cook, Mrs. Mullet. After all, wasn't it she who picked the mushrooms, cooked the omelette, and served it to Greyleigh in the moments before his death? 'I have to admit, ' says Flavia, an expert in the chemical nature of poisons, 'that I'd been praying to God for a jolly good, old-fashioned mushroom poisoning. Not that I wanted anyone to die, but why give a girl a gift such as mine without giving her the opportunity to use it?'"--

    NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom award-winning author Alan Bradley comes the next cozy British mystery starring intrepid young sleuth Flavia de Luce, hailed by USA Today as "one of the most remarkable creations in recent literature." Eleven-year-old amateur detective and ardent chemist Flavia de Luce is used to digging up clues, whether they're found among the potions in her laboratory or between the pages of her insufferable sisters' diaries. What she is not accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancred's death, the English hamlet of Bishop's Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saint'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 there's never such thing as an open-and-shut case.Acclaim for Speaking from Among the Bones "[Alan] Bradley scores another success. . . .

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Alan Bradley, author of the most award-winning series debut of any year, returns with another irresistible Flavia de Luce novel. In the hamlet of Bishop's Lacey, the insidiously clever and unflappable eleven-year-old sleuth Flavia de Luce had asked a Gypsy woman to tell her fortune-never expecting to later stumble across the poor soul, bludgeoned almost to death in the wee hours in her own caravan. Was this an act of retribution by those convinced that the soothsayer abducted a local child years ago? Certainly Flavia understands the bliss of settling scores; revenge is a delightful pastime when one has two odious older sisters. But how could this crime be connected to the missing baby? As the red herrings pile up, Flavia must sort through clues fishy and foul to untangle dark deeds and dangerous secrets.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROn a spring morning in 1951, eleven-year-old chemist and aspiring detective Flavia de Luce gathers with her family at the railway station, awaiting the return of her long-lost mother, Harriet. Yet upon the train's arrival in the English village of Bishop's Lacey, Flavia is approached by a tall stranger who whispers a cryptic message into her ear. Moments later, he is dead, mysteriously pushed under the train by someone in the crowd. Who was this man, what did his words mean, and why were they intended for Flavia? Back home at Buckshaw, the de Luces' crumbling estate, Flavia puts her sleuthing skills to the test. Following a trail of clues sparked by the discovery of a reel of film stashed away in the attic, she unravels the deepest secrets of the de Luce clan, involving none other than Winston Churchill himself.

    Det sydlige England, 1950. Flavia de Luce er 11 år og bor med sin excentriske familie i et gammelt skrummel af et landsted. Flavia er ikke helt almindelig: Hun interesserer sig for gift og kemi og tilbringer dagevis i sit gamle victorianske laboratorium i en afkrog af huset, hvor hun fremstiller gifte for sjov. En dag finder hun på dørtrinnet en sneppe med et frimærke spiddet på sit næb, og samme aften får hendes far besøg af en mystisk fremmed. Næste morgen ligger manden døende i agurkebedet, og Flavia beslutter, til stor irritation for politiet og sine hårdt prøvede storesøstre, at opklare mordet. Hun kommer på sporet af en dunkel sag om trylleri, filateli og anarki og afdækker langsomt hemmeligheden om sin fars fortid.Flavia de Luce og Hævneren fra Ulster er første bind i en serie med den elskelige, gammelkloge og nævenyttige pige i hovedrollen.”Flavia er imponerende som detektiv og fortryllende som den skøre professor, men hun er allermest indtagende som den lille pige, der har måttet lære at underholde sig selv i et stort, tomt hus.” - The New York Times Book ReviewOversat af Kristine Sandbjerg fra Sweetness at the Bottom of the PieCopyright © Alan Bradley Published by agreement with Licht & Burr Literary Agency, Denmarkkrimi, kemi, filateli, humor, England, 1950-1959
