Description
Twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce has always believed that curiosity is a kind of courage—so when she’s expelled from Miss Bodycote’s Female Academy in Canada, she returns to Buckshaw with a head full of questions and a chemistry set’s worth of determination. Set in the early 1950s, her homecoming should be comforting, but the quiet English estate soon draws her into a new mystery where danger, wit, and the smallest clues matter most. As Flavia investigates with razor-sharp logic and mischievous charm, she discovers that the past has a way of resurfacing—often with consequences that reach far beyond the laboratory. Alan Bradley’s distinctive, voice-driven storytelling blends cozy mystery pleasures with themes of resilience, intellectual obsession, and the moral weight of uncovering the truth.
