Publisher's Summary

While attending an exhibition at the Crystal Palace, young cook Kat Holloway is approached by a woman in distress. Lady Covington is a wealthy widow convinced that her entire family is trying to kill her. Kat feels compelled to help, so she escorts the lady home to discover whether she is delusional or in true danger.

When it quickly becomes apparent that the threat is all too real, Kat promises aid. Her charming confidant Daniel McAdam is busy infiltrating a plot against the Crown, and she worries he will not have time to lend his sleuthing expertise. This might be for the best, as Kat fears her growing emotional entanglement with Daniel can only lead to disaster. But soon, Kat faces a more serious threat when her involvement in both investigations plunges her into peril.

Loved it, but the men are hard to understand

I really enjoy this series, seeing Victorian London through a cook’s eyes is a nice middle ground between upper class shenanigans and the very grim and dark stories normally told of the lower classes. The mysteries are good and fun to read/listen to, not predictable or too far fetched.
The only negative was with the reading this time, somehow all, or most of, the men in this book ended up with very hard to understand voices. I normally listen in the car and have no trouble hearing it, but I had to turn it up when the men spoke (especially Daniel) because it was this weirdly whispery voice. I ended up listening to the rest at home, with ear buds to hear it properly.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
