pickKat's friend Joanna's husband, Sam, is suspected of embezzling from the bank where he works. Kat swings into action with her friends to prove Sam's innocence.
The real embezzler was fairly obvious almost from the start but the mystery of Dan's origins gets deeper. And we definitely need more of an epilogue - it's not clear whether Sam was reinstated.
pickSeries continues to be good with book 7. Good mystery with a tiny dash of slow-burn romance, plus scrumptious descriptions of the food Mrs Holloway cooks.
“Fans of Sherry Thomas and shows like Downton Abbey will love this thrilling historical mystery with a touch of romance.”

pickI think I've been reading this series since it came out.
It's a nice solid historical series with a main character who is a cook who actually has the worries & concerns of a Victorian cook (lack of free time, fear of being fired).
The slow burn romance is slowly solidifying, and I really loved how this book reconfirmed Kat's character so well, with her willingness to ask for help when it is for other people.
“What do they want in return?” I asked. No one in these gangs did things out of the kindness of their hearts.
“Money. Me.” Joanna‘s mouth twisted, then a fierce light entered her eyes. “My daughters. They considerately said they‘d wait until they were older.”
