The ancient English estate of Buckshaw is home to the last representatives of an aristocratic family—the eccentric Colonel de Luce and his three daughters. In the summer of 1950, the swamp of rural life is shattered by incredible events: the murder of a stranger and the arrest of the colonel. While the older daughters, like well-bred English ladies, sob into their handkerchiefs, the youngest, eleven-year-old Flavia, is ecstatic: finally, something has happened in her life! Her analytical mind and passion for chemistry, especially poisons, will help her unravel this puzzling case that has left the local police scratched. Flavia embarks on a quest that will lead her to nothing less than the King of England himself. She's certain of one thing: her father is innocent—on the contrary, he's protecting his daughters from something terrible...

"The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" is a masterfully told story of deception and a poignantly authentic immersion into mid-20th-century English life.
