Description

New York Times Best Seller

A finger in a wedding cake is only the beginning in this deliciously shocking mystery featuring Flavia de Luce, “the world’s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth” (The Seattle Times).

Although it is autumn in the small English town of Bishop’s Lacey, the chapel is decked with exotic flowers. Yes, Flavia de Luce’s sister, Ophelia, is at last getting hitched, like a mule to a wagon. “A church is a wonderful place for a wedding”, muses Flavia, “surrounded as it is by the legions of the dead, whose listening bones bear silent witness to every promise made at the altar.” 

Flavia is not your normal 12-year-old girl. An expert in the chemical nature of poisons, she has solved many mysteries, sharpening her considerable detection skills to the point where she had little choice but to turn professional. So Flavia and dependable Dogger, estate gardener and sounding board extraordinaire, set up shop at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, eager to serve - not so simple an endeavor with her odious little moon-faced cousin Undine constantly underfoot. 

But Flavia and Dogger persevere. Little does she know that their first case will be extremely close to home, beginning with an unwelcome discovery in Ophelia’s wedding cake: a human finger. 

Praise for The Golden Tresses of the Dead

“Delightful.... The mysteries in Mr. Bradley’s books are engaging, but the real lure is Ms. de Luce, the irreverent youngster.” (The Wall Street Journal)

“A ghoulish question is at the heart of Bradley’s excellent tenth Flavia de Luce novel.... Bradley, who has few peers at combining fair-play clueing with humor and has fun mocking genre conventions, shows no sign of running out of ideas.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A winning tenth mystery.” (People)

“Flavia’s over-the-top use of alliteration...and proudly precocious, sesquipedalian vocabulary...along with the thoroughly endearing cast of characters, make this series’ tenth installment a laugh-out-loud winner.” (Booklist, starred review) 

“Flavia de Luce hasn’t lost a sister, she’s gained a case - and what a case..... Perhaps the most consistently hilarious adventure of the alarmingly precocious heroine.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Jayne Entwistle is pure joy to listen to.

I truly enjoyed this one. I hope we see more of cousin Undine. I am becoming increasingly fond of her.

Great listen

This is the first audio version of the flavia de luce novels I've had the pleasure of listening to. I thought the narrating was excellent.

Young heroine flavia continues to enchant

My husband and I listened to this audiobook during a long car ride cross country. We have both listened to all the previous Flavia deLuce adventures and thoroughly enjoyed them. Flavia, the 13-year old heroine, is precocious, intelligent and very observant but vulnerable as well, an interesting combination. In this one she is beginning to grow up, noticing her own new and unusual thoughts and feelings. Dogger, the deLuce's butler and general handyman, plays a larger role in this novel than in previous stories. and he is an excellent, sympathetic supporter of young Flavia during the solving of this complicated mystery. All in all, a compelling audiobook. Hope Allan Bradley has more of these stories up his sleeve!
