In the ancient English estate of Buckshaw live the last representatives of an aristocratic lineage - the eccentric Colonel de Luce and his three daughters. In the summer of 1950, the sluggish swamp of rural life is disrupted by incredible events: the murder of a stranger and the arrest of the colonel. While the elder daughters, as befits well-bred English ladies, weep into their handkerchiefs, the youngest, eleven-year-old Flavia, is thrilled: something has finally happened in her life! An analytical mind, a passion for chemistry, and especially for poisons will help her unravel this puzzling case, which has stumped the local police. Flavia begins her search, which will lead her no less than to the King of England himself. In one thing she is certain: her father is innocent - on the contrary, he is protecting his daughters from something terrible... "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" is a masterfully told story of deceptions and a piercingly authentic immersion into English life in the mid-20th century.
