The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Eleven-year-old Flavia finds a dying man in the family's cucumber patch.  She makes solving his murder - and his identity - her task.  Full of fun and quirky humor.

Alan Bradley's The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie was enjoyable to listen to.  I think it would make a great kid's movie.  I am not so sure about the appeal to adults.  I do not think I would have been able to enjoy this if I read it, but listening to it was fun.  The reader - Jayne Entwistle - did a great job of Flavia de Luce's voice.  She really sounded like a young genius.
