The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
4.0
I'm so happy I stumbled upon this in the mystery shelves of the library, and even happier I chose to read it now. It was exactly what I was in the mood for--a quirky winter mystery with a lovable heroine.
The narrator is an 11 year old girl obsessed with chemistry. The setting is a London mansion in the year 1950. A bit of gothic flair, a dash of Lemony Snicket-esque whimsy, and clever monologues rivaling that of the beloved Hercule Poirot all made this one heck of a joy to read.
This is a great choice for anyone in the mood for an Agatha Christie novel with a fun spin.
