A stranger who appears on Kat’s doorstep turns out to be one Charlotte Bristow, legal wife of Joe Bristow, the man Kat once believed herself married to—who she thought died at sea twelve years ago. Kat is jolted by Charlotte’s claims that Joe was not only murdered but that he also had amassed a small fortune before he died. Charlotte makes the cook an offer she cannot refuse—if Kat can discover the identity of Joe’s murderer, Charlotte will give her a share of the fortune Joe left behind. With the help of Daniel McAdam, her attractive and charismatic confidante, Kat plunges into her own past to investigate. When it becomes apparent that the case of Joe’s death goes far deeper than simple, opportunistic theft, Kat and Daniel’s relationship is put to the test, and Kat herself comes under scrutiny as her connection to Joe is uncovered. She must race to catch the real killer before she loses her job and possibly her life.

“Anne-Marie Piazza’s accomplished narration transports listeners to Victorian London to follow the adventures of accomplished cook Kat Holloway as she investigates the death of her husband, Joe. The story is complicated by the fact that Joe’s other wife, a situation that continually reminds Kat of her bigamous marriage, requested her help. Piazza’s use of accents and inflection clearly distinguishes the working-class characters and those of the upper echelons of Victorian society. She also creates a believable and likable character in Daniel, Kat’s friend and new romantic interest. Piazza keeps the plot moving with her well-paced narration, helping the tension build as Kat seeks to uncover the truth about what happened to her late husband.”—AudioFile
