NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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 twelve-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)

A bit sticky but tolerable
Color: Picotonic Shot
I have both Dr. Melaxin peel shots in black and white rice and saw immediate improvement in the removal of tiny blackheads trapped in tight pores on my nose and around my lip line. It might honestly not get in very deep but it at least helped my skin, everyone is different. I thought my face could never be that improved by anything other than squeezing the crap out of my face and still getting nowhere. So I thought I'd try more of the product line. With this particular product I'm still too new to judge much but on my particular skin it is a bit sticky so I'll use it at night. I wash with the Dr. Melaxin Melting Cleaser, the Cactus toner, then the Dr.Melaxin Cemenrete Cyano Pink Spicule Serum and then this product. I'm 57, I don't have acne issues but I do have a few hyperpigmentation spots if like to fade out a bit if possible and just improve the overall cleanliness and look of my skin. Nothing is a miracle but it's been a noticable improvement so far. I give it 4 stars primarily due to it being kind of sticky on me. One drop goes a long way FYI.

It works!
Color: Picotonic Shot
Love this product!!! I have been using it about 10 days now, and the brown aid spots on my face are down by half, I am absolutely amazed! I did not take before and after pictures, just because I was waiting for it to work on the wrinkles, I had no idea it would work on the brown spots!! Highly recommend this product!!
