I n
his wickedly brilliant first novel, Alan Bradley introduces
one of the most singular and engaging heroines in recent
fiction: eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist
with a passion for poison.
It is the summer of 1950—and a series of inexplicable events
has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that
Flavia’s family calls home. A dead bird is found on the
doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak.
Hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch
and watches him as he takes his dying breath.
For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins
in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. "I wish I could
say I was afraid, but I wasn’t. Quite the contrary. This was
by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to
me in my entire life."
