Speculations in Sin | Jennifer Ashley
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
To save an innocent mans life, amateur sleuth and cook Kat Holloway must expose a financial scam that could ruin the most powerful aristocrats in Victorian-era London, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret of Bow Lane. Kat Holloway is distressed to learn that Samuel Millburn, husband of the woman who looks after her daughter, has been accused of embezzling funds from the bank where he works as a clerk. The accusation is absurd, and Samuels wife fears that her husband will not only lose his post but be imprisoned. Kat vows to uncover the truth. When she discovers the bank is involved in shockingly murky business dealings, Kat realizes shes treading in dangerous waters. She turns to her confidante and handsome suitor, Daniel McAdam, for help. To exonerate Samuel, Kat and Daniel may have to expose the unseemly financial dealings of prominent aristocrats and government officials, and even those working to bring down the royal family. Kat will risk everything to protect the man who has sacrificed so much for her daughter, even if it means endangering herself and the friends she has come to love.

I think I've been reading this series since it came out.

It's a nice solid historical series with a main character who is a cook who actually has the worries & concerns of a Victorian cook (lack of free time, fear of being fired).

The slow burn romance is slowly solidifying, and I really loved how this book reconfirmed Kat's character so well, with her willingness to ask for help when it is for other people.

“What do they want in return?” I asked. No one in these gangs did things out of the kindness of their hearts.

“Money. Me.” Joanna‘s mouth twisted, then a fierce light entered her eyes. “My daughters. They considerately said they‘d wait until they were older.”
