Thriller | Suspense
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.
