The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
Flavia de Luce · Book 1Description
In the English countryside of 1950, a precocious and chemistry-obsessed eleven-year-old named Flavia de Luce finds herself embroiled in a baffling murder. When a dead body appears in the cucumber patch of her family's estate, Flavia, with her insatiable curiosity and penchant for explosives, sees it as the perfect opportunity to test her deductive skills. As she delves into the investigation, navigating the peculiar world of a master puppeteer and the equally peculiar dynamics of her own family, Flavia uncovers a web of secrets far more complex than she could have imagined. This delightful debut introduces a truly unique heroine whose sharp wit and scientific mind make for an unforgettable mystery.
