The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, #1)The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was a really fun mystery novel. I usually get spooked easily but the suspense was just right in this one. I loved how the author (who I learned is a 70+ man) writes about things forgotten, like stamps and stamp collections. The book also included chemistry/poison and magic which made for some pretty interesting whodunit ideas for the reader. The main character was really developed and it was refreshing to read about an eleven year-old girl heroine. Fun read for October!
