WINNER OF THE AGATHA - ARTHUR ELLIS - DILYS - DEBUT DAGGER AWARDS "Wonderfully entertaining . . . sure to be one of the most loved mysteries of the year . . . Flavia is] a delightful, intrepid, acid-tongued new heroine."--Chicago Sun-TimesIt is the summer of 1950-and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Then, hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath. For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. "I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn't. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life." BONUS: This edition contains a The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie discussion guide and an excerpt from Alan Bradley's The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.

Great pepper grinder
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 1pk
I had to replace the pepper grinder I had for many years and found this one on Amazon. I'm not sure if it is the same brand but it looks just about the same as the one I had. It works the same and I really like the glass container and the adjustable grinder. It works great!

Stylish, Reliable Grinders That Work Great Every Day
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk
I purchased the Home EC stainless steel salt and pepper grinder set to replace an older mismatched pair, and these have been a solid upgrade for everyday kitchen use. They look clean and modern on the countertop and perform consistently whether I’m cooking or seasoning at the table.
The adjustable ceramic grinders make it easy to switch between fine and coarse settings, which is especially useful when cooking different types of meals.
✅ Pros
Solid stainless steel construction – feels sturdy and well made
Adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism – easy to fine‑tune grind size
Smooth, consistent grinding – no sticking or uneven output
Clear window to see contents – helps avoid running out unexpectedly
Comfortable to hold – good size and weight for regular use
❌ Cons
Manual grinding only – not ideal if you prefer electric grinders
Refilling requires removing the top – simple, but not spill‑proof
No labeling included – easy to mix up salt and pepper if you use similar grains
⚠️ Things to Consider Before Buying
Works best with dry sea salt and whole peppercorns
Ceramic grinders are durable but should not be washed in the dishwasher
If you cook in large quantities often, you may prefer a larger capacity grinder
👍 Reasons to Buy
Practical and attractive addition to any kitchen or dining table
Adjustable grind makes them versatile for cooking and finishing dishes
Durable enough for daily use without feeling bulky
Good value for a matching set, and you can often find a better price on Amazon compared to kitchen stores
✅ Final Thoughts
Overall, the Home EC Premium Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set offers a nice balance of style, durability, and functionality. If you’re looking for dependable manual grinders with adjustable settings for everyday use, this set is a great choice.

Practical and elegant grinder for daily use
Color: Silver single
I bought this manual salt and pepper grinder and in general I thought it was a very good option for the kitchen. The design is elegant and the glass body allows you to easily see when it is time to refill it. In addition, the stainless steel lid helps keep the spices fresh and prevents residues from falling on the table.
The ceramic blades grind both coarse salt and pepper well, and I liked that the thickness can be adjusted according to what you need, from a fine grind to a thicker one. It is also easy to recharge and clean.
After several uses it works properly and feels resistant for daily use.

Hand size mighty grinder
Color: Silver single
Hi- I think this is a good grinder although to this point I ground about 2/3 of the glass chamber full of a good quality peppercorn. I like a coarse grind and this device gives that grind consistently. I like the cover and it's fit. The overall look is pleasing and think it's a good bang for the buck. It's easy to use and adjusts to your personal needs or wants. If your debating this device and am worried if you'll get years of use I know I don't force it but rather learn to allow the tool to do the work. I think it will last me for quite a while and even if I have to replace it once a year it's a well built unit that you can enjoy using. If you have arthritic hands and use this for hard products like fresh peppercorns or coarse Himalayan salt then treat yourself to a good rechargeable grinder (or better yet ask your children to get you one for all the great meals you make for them & have made for them !) Thanks for the read. I hope this helps. Greybeard
