Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series follows an eleven-year-old girl with a passion for chemistry and poisons who lives with her sisters and father at a decaying English country house in the 1950s. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie begins when Flavia finds a dead man in the garden, and later books give her new mysteries while gradually revealing more about her family. Publication order is recommended because those discoveries matter across the series. Flavia narrates with precocious confidence, and the books combine traditional village mystery with scientific clues, family conflict and the comic gap between her formidable knowledge and her limited experience of the adult world.
