description: From 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 theyre 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. Tancreds death the English hamlet of Bishops Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saints 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 theres never such thing as an open-and-shut case.
