Reddit reviews The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: A Flavia de Luce Mystery

Do you like mysteries?? I hope you do! Because I'm about to tell you about my favorite mystery series ever! =D

Check out The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. It's the first in an absolutely amazing mystery series. Mysteries are my favorite books, but I'm weird and I'm really picky about them. So I promise this one is good!

To sum it up, the stories follow an 11-year-old girl who lives in a small village in 1950s England. She is very clever for her age and is very talented at chemistry. In particular, she is very fond of poisons. Long story short, a murder occurs and she helps solve it!

They're SO GOOD. I haven't heard many people IRL talk about these books, but according to the first couple of pages or so, they win awards and such. Anyway, I'd highly recommend this book and the whole series!

Thank you so much for this contest! =D

Those books are insanely awesome!!

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Check out the Flavia de Luce mysteries by Alan Bradley. While they do feature murder they're light, humorous, and quick reads. There are only 4 currently in print, but I think there'll be something like 7 in total. Bradley is pushing them out pretty quick.

• The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is the first book of the Flavia De Luce mystery series. I quickly fell in love with the heroine and the authors writing style draws you in easily.
  
  
• Note to self: don't read sad books while you're on an airplane
