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 for the price!
Color: Avocado Green
It is quiet and it works well. I was trying to purchase a smaller keyboard my husband had picked up for me for my birthday. Although this is much bigger, it works well is quiet and it didn't cost a fortune. The color of the keyboard was not exactly what I was going in for, however I am grateful to have another keyboard as I had ruined another one with coffee. The keyboard is fairly lightweight although like I said I was trying to get a smaller one to replicate the one my husband got me my mistake has decent responsiveness, mouses ergonomic. It's a nice keyboard I wouldn't have gone with this color personally. Seems to be fairly durable and easy to connect and use.
The price was very good so I would recommend two others.

Very quiet and comfortable keyboard
Color: Black
I recently purchased this keyboard and mouse set to replace my old one, and I’ve been very pleased with it so far. The keyboard keys are soft, responsive, and surprisingly quiet, which makes typing much more comfortable. The mouse also has a smooth, soft-touch feel that fits nicely in the hand. Overall, the set feels well made and like a great value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable keyboard and mouse combo.

It should last, but could be much better.
Color: Black
The keys are quiet and the keyboard should last a long time. Being a flat keyboard, I find myself hitting two keys at the same time frequently, and prefer the style with raised, tapered keys. The mouse times out and needs to be woke up by right clicking, but other times seems to lose connectivity entirely. Overall, I wish for something better

Great low price option for wireless keyboard
Color: Black
I’ve been using this ergonomic wireless keyboard and mouse for a bit now, and I’m honestly really happy with it. It’s super lightweight, and setup was as simple as plugging in the USB receiver; everything worked right away without me having to mess with any settings.
The keyboard feels great to type on. The keys are soft and quiet, and the adjustable tilt makes a noticeable difference for my wrists during longer work stretches. I also like having the full number pad and the shortcut keys, little things, but they make my day-to-day work smoother.
The mouse is comfortable and easy to control, and I haven’t had any issues with the wireless connection at all. No lag, no random disconnects. Battery life has also been impressive so far.
Overall, it’s easy to use, comfortable, and does exactly what I need it to. I’m definitely happy with the purchase.
