A well-researched mystery set in 18th-century London. The author provides interesting details about life as a member of a household staff during those times. If you like cooking, then you'll really appreciate the descriptions of menus and the preparation of meals. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a maid and the theft of a valuable silver cooler will draw you in and keep you reading until late into the night.
