"The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradley is the first of the Flavia de Luce British mystery series.This book was recommended by Steve's aunt Patsy and we were able to pick up the first three in the series from McKay's Nashville.
We wanted a non-television, low cost activity we could do together. We decided to read this book out loud together. Although it took us longer to read due to matching our schedules; however, we had fun. The language of this book was unique... say if Sherlock Holmes was an eleven year old girl.

There were times that we laughed aloud, other times held a gasp or two, and a lot of time googling what words mean. This was a solid and quirky mystery and we both enjoyed the adventure. We both settled on 3.5 stars out of five stars as it was good; however, not quite our style. We have started the sequel, but have not gotten very far into it. I don't think we will read the entire series; however, we will certainly get through the ones that we purchased.
