Flavia de Luce is a 12-year-old British girl who loves snooping and solving mysteries. In the book, she comes across her 10-year-old aunt in the kitchen of their family's bakery putting away some pies from the day's baking. She offers to help by cleaning out the refrigerator, but when she opens one of the pies, an envelope falls out with a ten dollar bill inside. The letter tells her that Aunt V made up this "game" and a $5000 prize awaits her if she can solve it all by herself.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: A Flavia de Luce Mystery is about a twelve-year-old girl named Flavia who loves to write mysteries. One day, she takes a break from writing to go for a walk in her small English town. When she comes back, her little brother Teddy has been kidnapped. In order to find him, she must rely on unorthodox methods and investigate among secrets and lies.

Flavia de Luce is the twelve-year-old narrator who starts out in 1928, with the suggestion that she spend her summer in England. Her grandmother always has a tray of food for Flavia on the porch, but this is not enough for this young detective. On her trip, she meets Mrs. Shears and Mr. Todd, who becomes her ally for the summer. She also learns some of their secrets and finds out that there is more going on than what seems to be happening from her perspective.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is set in England, 1950. The protagonist is thirteen-year-old Flavia de Luce, a child prodigy who has recently been sent to live with her Uncle Albert in England (from her father's home in Boston) because he's going to be executed for treason. Flavia becomes fast friends with their cook's granddaughter, Morwenna. Together they try to solve a murder that happened shortly after Flavia arrives.

It's been a long time since the bestselling Flavia de Luce series has had a new book. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is an audiobook that tells the story of Flavia and Brownie. It was enjoyable listening to this book with Jayne Entwistle narrating it. She did an excellent job and made me feel like I was listening in on all of Flavia's conversations with her friends/family

Flavia de Luce, who was raised by her aunt and uncle, is at the top of her class at Wychwood School for Girls. She's everything a proper English girl should be: she doesn't use slang, she knows how to curtsy, and she's never kissed anyone besides her parents. That all changes when a new student transfers to the school who is not only the most charming boy Flavia has ever met but he also happens to be an heir to a great British pie company. Now Flavia is juggling strange cases of missing pies, unusual ingredients in other pies, and even human body parts that have been found in bakery dumpsters.
