Scandal Above Stairs: A Below Stairs Mystery Series, Book 2
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A mystery of stolen antiquities has Kat Holloway setting aside her apron once again for the intrigues of the upper echelons of Victorian London.
Priceless artwork has gone missing from the home of a wealthy baronet, and his wife stands to take the blame. When Kat's employer asks for help in clearing her friend's name, Kat trades her kitchen for the homes of Mayfair's wealthiest families. Soon antiques are disappearing not only from the extravagant households of connoisseurs and collectors, but from the illustrious British Museum.
As the thefts increase in frequency, Kat calls upon her friend Daniel McAdam, who has already set himself up in a pawnshop on the Strand as a seedy receiver of stolen goods. When a man is murdered in the shop, Kat must use all of her wits to see that the thieves are caught and justice is done.

In Ashley’s capable second Below Stairs mystery set in late Victorian London (after 2017’s Death Below Stairs), Lady Cynthia, the unconventional sister of cook Kat Holloway’s titled employer, asks Kat to investigate the theft of paintings from the home of Clementina, Lady Godfrey. Since Clemmie has large gambling debts, she’s the obvious suspect, but she swears she’s innocent. Meanwhile, Kat’s enigmatic friend, Daniel McAdam, is working undercover, posing as a broker at a pawnshop, to help discover the source of stolen antiques that have been appearing on the black market. Daniel disappears at the same time that an unidentified male corpse turns up at the pawnshop. Terrified for his safety, Kat begins to wonder whether the thefts of paintings and antiques might be linked, so she enlists Daniel’s brilliant friend, Elgin Thanos, to help investigate. Neither the mystery plot, which depends on major coincidences, nor Kat’s ability to juggle her demanding job and serious sleuthing feels entirely convincing, but the progress of two charming romances—between Kat and Daniel, Cynthia and Elgin—will leave readers eager for more.

A cook and a man of mystery investigate theft and murder in Victorian London.Ashley (Death Below Stairs, 2018, etc.) introduces cook Kat Holloway just as the roast pig, the crowning glory of the dinner being served to her employers, Lady Cynthia and her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Bywater, lands on the floor. Ever resourceful, Kat quickly substitutes a fowl dish and saves the day. Shorthanded because of the Bywaters' parsimony, Kat takes on Tess Parsons, a kitchen maid recommended by her friend Daniel McAdam, who not long ago assisted her in solving a murder. Handsome and charming, Daniel is certainly more than the jack-of-all-trades he appears to be. Despite their mutual attraction, Kat worries that she hasn't learned much about his past or even his present, though she suspects he works with the police. His current job in a pawnshop that receives stolen goods makes him well-placed to address a problem brought to Kat by Lady Cynthia, a daring young woman who often goes about dressed as a man. Lady Cynthia's friend Lady Clementina Godfrey has been accused by her husband of selling some of his paintings to pay her debts. When Kat visits their home, however, she's sure that Sir Evan Godfrey has secretly sold his paintings for money to feed his passion for ancient artifacts, some of which are passing through Daniel's pawnshop. When a number of guests are taken ill and one dies at a dinner party hosted by the Godfreys, Kat and Tess save the cook from being arrested--not only because they're helping her, but because Tess tasted every dish without suffering any ill effects. Now all they have to do is find a killer and the thieves who have been stealing antiquities.A complex and often downright messy mystery is redeemed by plenty of Victorian details, quirky characters, and romance.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
