Kat Holloway Mysteries

By: Jennifer Ashley

Narrated by: Anne-Marie Piazza

October 1883. When cook Kat Holloway and the kitchen staff maintain the empty Mayfair house while the family resides in the country, Lord Clifford, Lady Cynthia’s confidence-trickster father arrives in London and asks Kat and Daniel McAdam for help. Lord Clifford might be accused of murder but won't go to the police because his involvement with the victim will implicate him in another crime.

Kat and Daniel must pool their resources and unravel this tricky situation before Lord Clifford is arrested. Kat will do anything to spare her friend Lady Cynthia disgrace and ruin, even when the investigation leads her into grave peril.

Cute mystery

I love this series. A new mystery. Cynthia father has gotten involved in a money scam. Lord Clifford has now been charged with murder! Can Kat Holloway and Daniel McAdams find out who was responsible? Terrific novella.

Narrator

I enjoy these books and I think the narrator does a fine job with all the voices except for Daniel. The low whispered undertone is so very difficult to understand. I know we are quite a few books into this now and it's hard to change a voice that we've all heard so many times, but it would be great to just stop the whisper.
