Author: Nell Hampton
Stars: 4.25 stars
Review:
A quirky murder mystery set in the Kensington Palace kitchens. The heroine is a young American Chef, hired by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who is their personal Chef. Needless to say two murders occur in which the young Chef appears to be the culprit. So she must find the real culprit while trying to find romance beneath the stairs. This book will keep even the most jaded reader's attention to the finale. With her ability to find herself in hot water, and I don't mean just tea, I fully expect to see series of unfortunate murders being solved by this intriped Chef. After all, don't we all enjoy a flight of fancy from time to time.
I have rated this book 4.25 stars.
I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.
The elegant Orangery at Kensington Palace is the perfect setting for the bridal shower of Carrie Ann Cole’s best friend’s sister. Personal chef to the royal family, Carrie Ann’s pie theme is naturally winning. But a waiter later keels over dead into the lemon meringue pie she leaves as a thank-you to the staff and Carrie Ann realizes that somebody slipped a mickey into that meringue.
Her floury fingerprints are all over that pie and the authorities suspect her distress is a cover-up for murder. Carrie Ann must set out to clear her name if she wants to stay at her dream job any longer. But all too soon, another body drops in the Orangery. This time, it’s the Orangery chef.
Murder won’t crimp her style, and as bodies pile up, Carrie Ann uncovers palace intrigue, London nightlife, and British pies scouring for the killer in Lord of the Pies, the witty follow-up to Nell Hampton’s Kale to the Queen.
