Hardcover edition in very good condition. Flavia de Luce Series #5.
“Could it be that goodness waxes and wanes like the moon, and that only evil is constant?”
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 that there is never such things as an open-and-shut case.
Read Alikes for Speaking from Among the Bones: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley; Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh; The Case of the Gilded Fly Edmond Crispin; The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths; The Case of the Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall; The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer
