From the New York Times bestselling author of Scandal Above Stairs Kat Holloway steps out from beneath the stairs and into international intrigue, where murder and stolen treasure lurk among the upper echelons of Victorian London. In return for a random act of kindness, scholar Li Bai Chang presents young cook Kat Holloway with a rare and precious gifta box of tea. Kat thinks no more of her unusual visitor until two days later when the kitchen erupts with the news that Lady Cynthia's next-door neighbor has been murdered. Known about London as an "Old China Hand," the victim claimed to be an expert in the language and customs of China, acting as intermediary for merchants and government officials. But Sir Jacob's dealings were not what they seemed, and when the authorities accuse Mr. Li of the crime, Kat and Daniel find themselves embroiled in a world of deadly secrets that reach from the gilded homes of Mayfair to the beautiful wonder of Kew Gardens.

At this stage in my reading life, I love books with strong characters that I just love spending time with. Jennifer Ashley's Kat Halloway series certainly fits that bill!

Evening reading looks a little different than it used to. Also, that‘s the face of a dog who stole a piece of cake off the counter (with the help of a cat, we suspect) but knows we don‘t know yet. #dogsoflitsy

Tanisha_A That some solid pairing to pull a cake heist. 😀 6y
Ericalambbrown So cute! And @Tanisha_A That‘s too funny! 😂😂😂 6y
brennahawleycraig @Tanisha_A I know! It‘s the only solution we can come up with because it was too much for just the cat to eat. 6y
