About this listen

Priceless artwork has gone missing from the home of a wealthy baronet, and his wife stands to take the blame.

When Kat's employer asks for help in clearing her friend's name, Kat trades her kitchen for the homes of Mayfair's wealthiest families. Soon antiquities are disappearing not only from the extravagant households of connoisseurs and collectors but also from the illustrious British Museum. As the thefts increase in frequency, Kat calls upon her friend Daniel McAdam, who has already set himself up in a pawnshop on the Strand as a seedy receiver of stolen goods. When a man is murdered in the shop, Kat must use all of her wits to see that the thieves are caught and justice is done.

Just perfect

I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this story. The characters, the brilliant narration, the plot, the wonderful historic details, the subplots, the whole bit. Neither too intense nor to fanciful. Just wonderfully engaging, entertaining, thought-provoking and, well, perfect. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Another Win!

Another great mystery that I could not predict. I loved catching up with our characters. It was the perfect blend of mystery, history, charm, and romance. I shared this series with my family and now they are hooked. I'd rate it a soft PG-13.

Absorbing historical mystery & great characters

An absorbing cozy historical mystery that is elevated by a great cast of characters. Jennifer Ashley’s Scandal Above Stairs is narrated by Kat Holloway, a Victorian cook. She is an intelligent and observant woman, who provides a prospective on Victorian society I have not often read. I enjoyed this book more then the first installment, as I already had a connection to the characters. I am enjoying the building of the relationships amongst the characters. Not only between Kat and Daniel McAdam, Kat’s love interest and mysterious investigator of crimes, but also the building relationships with all characters: Tess - Kat’s new assistant cook with a difficult background; Cynthia - a lady of the house how feels constrained by societies expectations; Mr. Thanos, Daniel’s brilliant friend whose a bit oblivious to world around him; Daniel’s son James, who always wants to be in the middle of the action; and Mr. Davis, the butler with his love of reading the newspapers. Overall the clever plot of Scandal Above Stairs has witty dialogue peppered with descriptions of Victorian cooking and interesting character developments.

This series is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. The cast of characters are a fabulous ensemble. The mystery has the perfect amount of red herrings that kept me guessing throughout. I can't wait for the next book.

Good narration, Victorian mystery

This story continues from the prequel and the first book. A type of cozy Victorian mystery with just a touch of romance. The main character is a com in a house of the aristocracy. She is observant and solves the mystery.

Intriguing mystery with a host of players

Many homes getting robbed, and a few murders in the mix makes it quite a pickle to sort out. Kat and Daniel are really sweet together and you hope there is a rosy future for them. The fact that each has a child they need to care for adds extra depth to the story and to the characters. In this story, we are also introduced to Tess, Kat's new assistant to train. Tess has her own sketchy background, but seems to be a quick learner and endearing. I am sure we will be seeing more of her as well as James.
