A Below Stairs Mystery

By: Jennifer Ashley

Narrated by: Anne-Marie Piazza

While attending an exhibition at the Crystal Palace, young cook Kat Holloway is approached by a woman in distress. Lady Covington is a wealthy widow convinced that her entire family is trying to kill her. Kat feels compelled to help, so she escorts the lady home to discover whether she is delusional or in true danger.

When it quickly becomes apparent that the threat is all too real, Kat promises aid. Her charming confidant Daniel McAdam is busy infiltrating a plot against the Crown, and she worries he will not have time to lend his sleuthing expertise. This might be for the best, as Kat fears her growing emotional entanglement with Daniel can only lead to disaster. But soon, Kat faces a more serious threat when her involvement in both investigations plunges her into peril.

Great listen, but....

I enjoy this series, but it seems Daniel's voice is getting lower and lower and more gruff. It's so low sometimes I have to turn the volume up, but it's only when he's specifically talking to Kat. Why not just use the same voice when he talks to everyone else? All in all I still enjoyed it.

I want 10 more books in this series please

What fun!!!! So sorry it has ended… for now. Great narration. Great twists. Thank you!

Good story

The only hang up I had was that some of the recording was funky. I also didn’t love the changes made to the male voices.

Excellent

These stories never cease to entertain and this one was excellent. Combining the day to day in the gentry and the working class

The narrator is great but agree her voice of Daniel is pretty low. But loved every minute!

Books listed out of order!!!

Audible has this book listed as number four in the series, but it is actually number five. I listened halfway through before I figured it out. There are new characters in this book and references to events from Murder in the East End. It was very confusing and annoying. I was also quite bothered by the change in the way the narrator voiced Daniel and a few other characters in this one. The change in Daniel's voice in particular is a pretty tough pill to swallow. Hopefully I will find Murder in the East End more enjoyable.
