Lord of the Pies is the second installment in the A Kensington Palace Chef Mystery series featuring Chef Carrie Ann Cole, personal chef to the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge. Having moved from her home in Chicago, Illinois to take a position at Kensington Palace things didn't go well for Carrie Ann at first but she's finally settling in to life with the royals and is looking forward to catering a bridal shower for best friend Penny Nethercott's sister.

It's not long before Carrie Ann sees a man staring through her kitchen windows taking pictures, a member of the waitstaff turns up dead, a Chef is poisoned and another is killed in the walk-in freezer. Finding herself once again having to defend her reputation and save her position at the Palace, she sets out against the advice of Chief Security Officer Ian Gordon to track down a killer.

A thoughtful fast paced plot with interesting characters and a behind the scenes glimpse into life behind the palace walls. However, the dreaded love triangle continues and I can only hope a resolution is reached in the next series.
