2009 book 106

Alan Bradley's The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
You really can't go wrong with an 11-year-old girl chemist/sleuth trying to solve a murder that happens in her eccentric family's garden. Hilarious characters, revenge schemes between sisters, philatelists, long-suffering policemen, all in 1950s England--it adds up to an extremely entertaining mystery. Bradley is apparently working on a sequel and I hope it comes out soon! A.
