NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? ?The world?s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth? (The Seattle Times), Flavia de Luce, returns in a twisty mystery novel from award-winning author Alan Bradley. In the wake of an unthinkable family tragedy, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his female parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly something grazes her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, imagining herself Ernest Hemingway battling a marlin, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia?s grip is something far better: a human head, attached to a human body. If anything could take Flavia?s mind off sorrow, it is solving a murder?although one that may lead the young sleuth to an early grave. Praise for The Grave?s a Fine and Private Place ?Flavia [is] irrepressible, precocious and indefatigable. . . . A whole new chapter of Flavia?s life opens as she approaches adolescence. Will she become the Madame Curie of crime???Bookreporter ?Outstanding . . . As usual, Bradley makes his improbable series conceit work and relieves the plot?s inherent darkness with clever humor.??Publishers Weekly (starred review) ?There?s only one Flavia. . . . Series fans will anticipate the details of this investigation, along with one last taste of Flavia?s unorthodox family life.??Library Journal (starred review) ?Bradley?s unquenchable heroine brings ?the most complicated case I had ever come across? to a highly satisfying conclusion, with the promise of still brighter days ahead.??Kirkus Reviews
