The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie |
Meet the new heroine of detective fiction . . . Flavia de Luce, and she is eleven years old! The period is vintage, 1950 to be precise; the setting (you have guessed it) a substantial country house; the cast, eccentric. This is the first in the series, and I shall be looking out for more. Flavia is brilliant - but I like Inspector Hewitt; his code for Flavia is "P"! (Ferelith Hordon - bwl 64 Spring 2012) |
