Welcome to Litsy!

Kat Holloway is a cook in Victorian London with a new job when her kitchen assistant is suddenly brutally murdered. This cozy mystery by a romance author comes with a lot of the flaws I‘ve seen in other books like it, but it‘s still fun. My beefs: while well-researched, the characters seem to have endless time to leave their posts and go haring off on adventures; too much time devoted to a will-they-won‘t-they relationship. I‘ll read the next one.

Not yet finished the first but I already have the sequel lined up and ready to go.

I like Kat and Daniel. I‘m questioning the historical accuracy a bit here and there but, still, I‘m enjoying this mystery.

Haven't read the prequel novella that introduces the characters (will go back and do so), but if you like historical mysteries with strong romantic elements and no-nonsense competent heroines (and believe me I do), this is a fun series. Mrs. Kat Holloway gets a new position as a cook in a Mayfair household and in-between keeping the household well-fed investigates the death of a staff member, helped by handsome jack-of-all-trades, Daniel McMann

Charming! Light, cozy, enjoyable read that was perfect for me right now. Can‘t wait for the second one 😄

Well it isn‘t as much as I‘d hoped but with a busy weekend preparing for a new job, I‘ll take it! Loved seeing everyone‘s posts! #24in48 @24in48 #readathon

I loved this historical fiction mystery. Great characters, terrific plot, and wonderful setting. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

We are dog-sitting for one of my best friends while she & her husband are visiting his home country of Peru. This is Pisco, & our current animal count inside is two cats & two dogs in a tiny house 😂 I‘m loving this mystery right now! My local bookstore started a monthly subscription service (several, actually) and I signed up for the mystery one. Think upstairs-downstairs like Downton Abbey with murder and a feisty female cook lead. #dogsoflitsy

🌧Rainy Sunday plans. It's been grey and gloomy all day...and I ❤️ it 😊

My first #BlameitonLitsy purchase of the year has arrived. 🙄😂😊 #bookhoarder

First in new mystery series set in Victorian England. I liked that the main character was a cook rather than a member of the upper class like the main characters in many other historical mysteries.

Expected publication on January 2, 2018.
