Speaking from Among the Bones

Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley  416 pp.

Eleven year old amateur sleuth and chemistry prodigy, Flavia de Luce once again investigates murder. This time it is the organist of St. Tancred's Church who is the victim. Mr. Collicutt had gone missing weeks before and his body is found when the tomb of St. Tancred is opened at the 500th anniversary of the saint's death. Flavia is first to see the body with a face covered by a vintage gas mask and she's off to find the killer. But who would kill an organist and why? In the mean time Flavia's father is dealing with the immanent loss of Buckshaw, the de Luce estate while her sister, Ophelia, makes plans to marry. This is a grand whodunit from a fun series. A proper British mystery.
