The Grave's a Fine and Private Place

Description

When a boating trip turns into a discovery, Flavia de Luce finds a body washed ashore—and, as always, her curiosity is sharper than her caution. With Dogger quietly pursuing leads of his own and her sisters drawn into the orbit of danger, Flavia must unravel a murder that reaches beyond the waterline and into the secrets of a local church. As she follows clues that range from the practical to the oddly literary, she faces a case involving not one death, but three, each tied to the gossip and hidden motives of the community. Alan Bradley’s signature blend of youthful brilliance, period detail, and wry wit drives this ninth installment of the Flavia de Luce mysteries, where themes of knowledge, obsession, and moral courage collide in a tightly plotted investigation.
