The sweetness at the bottom of the pie: Flavia de Luce. [sound recording] / Alan Bradley.
To Flavia the investigation is the stuff of full of possibilities, contradictions, and connections. Soon her father, a man raising his three daughters alone, is seized, accused of murder.

Now Flavia is armed with more than enough knowledge to tie two distant deaths together, to examine new suspects, and begin a search that will lead her all the way to the King of England himself. Of this much the girl is certain: her father is innocent of murder—but protecting her and her sisters from something even worse...
