The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Flavia De Luce, one of the single best character names I have ever had the pleasure to run across! I LOVED this book, adored it really. I am never sure when starting a book where the main character is a child if I will really be able to “get into it”, but Flavia is just such a charming and captivating character that you can't help but to be pulled into her world, a world full of entertaining characters and a fabulous little mystery. The author, who is a 70 year old Canadian, and won the Dagger award for “The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” has finished “The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag,” the second book in the series about Flavia and it is set to be released in 2010. I for one, cannot wait!
