Book Review of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, Bk 1)

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, Bk 1)


An 11 year old girl growing up in 1950 England. Motherless, living with her father and two sisters, Flavia is a very unusual child. She is extremely interested in chemistry. When a stranger that she overhead arguing with her father the night before turns up dead in the garden, all clues lead to her father as the prime suspect. However, Flavia has other ideas, and is out to prove the police wrong. Her adventures are over-the-top as far as believability, but makes for an enjoyable read!
