That said, there were a lot of references to food which may or may not work for all readers.

Not sure why but for some reason every time I put a bookmark in, I walked away feeling like I could slay my kitchen! There were a lot of foodie references and I found myself constantly hungry while I was reading this book….ironically by the end though I felt like I could be Gordon Ramsey and whip up quite the feast.

Ok so yet again I feel like I gained 10 pounds just reading this book. Intent on discovering who killed the helpless kitchen maid, Kat turns to the ever-capable Daniel McAdam, who is certainly much more than the charming delivery man he pretends to be.Īlong with the assistance of Lord Rankin’s unconventional sister-in-law and a mathematical genius, Kat and Daniel discover that the household murder was the barest tip of a plot rife with danger and treason-one that’s a threat to Queen Victoria herself ( summary from Goodreads). Kat is unbothered by the family’s eccentricities as long as they stay away from her kitchen, but trouble finds its way below stairs when her young Irish assistant is murdered. Highly sought-after young cook Kat Holloway takes a position in a Mayfair mansion and soon finds herself immersed in the odd household of Lord Rankin. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to review an early copy! I had been searching for something a little different from the usual high society murder mystery series.Īnd this looked like the perfect combo, cook from a big house tuned sleuth…sounds intriguing. This book kept hoping up all over my Twitter feed and I had my eye on it for so long.
