The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

I liked the interest of the protagonist in chemistry. You don't see many girls with such a passionate interest and talent in chemistry written about. I like that Flavia is different from your average girl.

As a mystery, I have read better. I have read worse. There are memorable pieces and scenes. I liked it well enough, but I won't go back and read other books in the series. However, I am not a good series reader either.
