In the old English estate of Buckshaw live the last representatives of an aristocratic family – the eccentric Colonel de Luce and his three daughters. In the summer of 1950, the thick swamp of rural life is interrupted by incredible...
events: the murder of a stranger and the arrest of the colonel. While the older daughters, as befits well-bred English ladies, cry into their handkerchiefs, the youngest, eleven-year-old Flavia, is thrilled: finally, something has happened in her life! Her analytical mind, passion for chemistry, and especially for poisons will help her unravel this puzzling case, which has baffled the local police. Flavia embarks on a search that will lead her to none other than the King of England himself. One thing she is sure of: her father is innocent – on the contrary, he is protecting his daughters from something terrible… "The Sweetness on the Crust of the Pie" is a masterfully told story of deception and a poignant dive into the English life of the mid-20th century.
