The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Author: Alan Bradley

Flavia de Luce is 11 years old, the youngest of the eccentric de Luce family. A natural born chemist with a particular interest in poison, Flavia finds herself in the middle of a strange mystery involving her stamp-obsessed father, his friends, some stamps, and a curious death. Inspector Hewitt has been hired to solve the mystery, but quickly cuts it off before many suspicious incidents begin to happen. It is up to Flavia De Luce to reveal the truth behind the terrible murder.

This book really drew me into it. I love the way the mysterys kept unraveling until they seemed like they would go on forever! Flavia De Luce is such an eccentric character and I love how she uses her own talents as a chemist to solve the crime. However, as the book went along, I found it a bit too predictable.
