About “The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse: A Flavia de Luce Story”
After receiving an intriguing note declaring a murder has taken place, and beseeching her to "come at once," Flavia takes off on her trusted bicycle Gladys in search of a cadaver. Sitting in a bathtub at her father's old school, she discovers what at first appears to be a statue. But to Flavia's surprise, the thing is in fact a dead man who, save his face, appears to have been carved out of copper. Flavia gets to work; but when an investigation begins with a metallic corpse, ever more curious twists are in store. (Description courtesy of Penguin Random House.)
Praise for “The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse: A Flavia de Luce Story”
“If ever there were a sleuth who’s bold, brilliant, and, yes, adorable, it’s Flavia de Luce.”
“Part Harriet the Spy, part Violet Baudelaire from Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Flavia is a pert and macabre pragmatist.”
“This idiosyncratic young heroine continues to charm.”
