Sweetness on the Pie Crust

In the old 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 stagnant 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 well-mannered English ladies, weep 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 solve this puzzling case, which has stumped the local
police. Flavia begins her investigation, which will lead her to none other than the King of England himself. She is certain of one thing: her father is innocent — on the contrary, he is protecting his daughters from something terrible… "Sweetness on the Pie Crust" — is a masterfully told story of deceit and a poignant immersion into English life in the mid-20th century.
