Book Recommendation: Death Below Stairs by Jennifer Ashley

I enjoyed reading Death Below Stairs (2018) which is part of the series of Below Stairs Mysteries by The New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer Ashley. This novel features Cook Kat Holloway. Click on the links to learn more about the author and this book.

 

34927953

Victorian class lines are crossed when cook Kat Holloway is drawn into a murder that reaches all the way to the throne.

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. 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.

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. Along 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.

Good morning Roy,

Another stellar book recommendation. The question for you is how are you feeling? Are you feeling okay after your bout with vertigo? Certainly hope you are.
