What she is \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancred's death, the English hamlet of Bishop's Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saint's tomb. Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove there's never such thing as an open-and-shut case. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclaim for \u003ci\u003eSpeaking from Among the Bones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \" Alan] Bradley scores another success. . . .
