Highly sought-after cook Kat Holloway takes a position in a Mayfair mansion and soon finds herself immersed in the odd household of Lord Rankin. Kat is fine with the family's eccentricities as long as they stay away from her kitchen, but trouble finds its way below stairs when her assistant is murdered.

Afraid for her life, Kat turns to the mysterious Daniel McAdam for help. Daniel takes a position in the house as a footman and stand-in valet so that he can investigate covertly, but Kat cooks up a suspect list of her own. Together, they uncover crime in places low and high - including a plot that may threaten even Queen Victoria herself.

I very much enjoyed the Captain Lacey series by Jennifer Ashley / Ashley Gardner. This series is different, partly because of the female lead protagonist and female narrator, but the stories have interesting twists and turns within the mystery being solved, and the development of the relationships between characters is enjoyable to follow. My day job is quite stressful so I like books that are sociable and absorbing, but not too tense. This series has a helpful balance, intrigue, and some intelligent observations. Plus, some mouthwatering descriptions of cooked meals! The narrator took some getting used to, but for anyone that is interested in books that have some depth to their characters, with observations that can sometimes relate to all of our lives, the books are a helpful form of escape. I'm pleased to have found this series. If you like Jennifer Ashley / Ashely Gardner's writing, it's a series worth dipping into.
