Welcome to Litsy!

Kat Holloway,cook extraordinaire,works for an upper echelon family in 1881 London.The eccentric daughter, who loves the freedom that dressing as a man in the night affords her, asks Kat to help her investigate when art & antiquities are stolen from upper class home & her friend is a suspect.Kat‘s possible love interest,Daniel,
an expert in disguise,is also investigating these thefts.What begins as a case of thievery becomes a case of murder.

Really enjoyed this second book in this historical mystery series. In this one Kate has to help clear a poisoning, a theft ring, and murder. She also gets a new assistant to help in the kitchen. Lots of food.

A lot going on in this one but I love Kate and Daniel.

Excited for this weekend‘s #24B4Monday as it‘s the last weekend before the college class I‘m taking starts in earnest and the next to last weekend before my son starts school! I‘m hoping to read at least 18 hours but as far as which books I‘m hoping to read I‘m not sure other than finishing the tagged. Probably try to get through my library books! @Andrew65

If it‘s Mother‘s Day in your part of the world, I hope you are enjoying the day - being celebrated or celebrating someone special! And Happy Sunday to the rest of you Littens!

This is how I‘m spending my day...

I enjoyed book 2 in this cozy historical mystery series. There's just a little bit of romance, too, which is just the amount that I can handle, and it's done in a way that doesn't make me roll my eyes.

Delightful! Loved being below stairs again with Kat and solving mysteries with her band of dear friends. #whodunnit #mystery

Great get from the library, book 2 in the Below Stairs mystery series 😄 #whodunnit #mystery

Necessary supplies for flight home: tea and book. What do you like to read on a flight? #musthave #essentials #historicalcozy #ilovecozies #cozymystery

Monday night reads with my buddy (who is scared of the booms of the early fireworks). Does it still count as an ARC if I only start it one day before the actual book is released?! 😂🙈 #dogsoflitsy

An additional winner for Ms. Ashley in this series! I loved it, Mrs. Holloway is such a likable character, she finds herself short of a kitchen assistant but she's saved by taking in a young street urchin, Tess as a favor to Mr. McDaniels. Tess proves to be a quick study even though she's pretty rough around the edges. She proves herself invaluable to the household while Mrs.Holloway tries to help Lady Cynthia solve this latest caper.

Hotel reading: ARC of the second book in a mystery series where I loved the first (thanks Goodreads!), Pitch Perfect and the hotel bed.
