***SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MOLLY BELLE WRIGHT, MARTIN FREEMAN, JONATHAN PRYCE, AND TOBY JONES*** NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Winner of Macavity Award for Best First Mystery Novel, Barry Award for Best First Novel, Agatha Award for Best First Novel, Dilys Winn Award, Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel, Spotted Owl Award for Best Novel, and CWA Debut Dagger Award Meet eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950—and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia’s family calls home. A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned in its beak. Hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath. For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. “I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn’t. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life.” The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is a masterfully told tale of deceptions—and a rich literary delight. Includes an excerpt from the second book in the Flavia de Luce series!
