Why read it?

1 author picked Death Below Stairs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My final choice is Jennifer Ashley’s book, the first in a delightful mystery series starring a cook. While the mystery itself is well done, it is the characters who elevate this novel, not to mention the detailed descriptions of life and cookery in a Victorian kitchen.

Our sleuth, Kat Holloway, wields her enormous integrity and insight just as effectively as her kitchen knives. And her love interest, the enigmatic Daniel McAdam, is tons of fun too!
