Death at the Crystal Palace<\/a><\/em> (2021) Jennifer Ashley<\/a> (A Below Stairs Mystery Book)<\/p>\n

\"Death<\/a>Set in England in 1882.<\/p>\n

Kat is visiting the Crystal Palace on her day off with Lady Cynthia and her friends (as well as with her daughter), when a woman comes up to her and claims that she is being poisoned, and wants Kat to help her.<\/p>\n

As she is trying to figure out how do manage that, Daniel is called away to work on another case, so she has to turn to her other friends for assistance. <\/p>\n

As well as Daniel’s brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dear woman, I am a master of discretion. I convinced the Church of England to let me take orders, didn\u2019t I?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, Lady Cynthia’s parents have come to Town, and are threatening to take her back to the country with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cPapa has run through the last of the money already, has he? Only yesterday he was telling me he was in funds.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cFor important things,\u201d Lady Clifford said. \u201cNot for paying the bills of a girl-child.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mystery was interesting, and we continue to learn dribs and drabs about Daniel, and why he is indebetted to Mr. Monaghan.<\/p>\n

We also see both Grace and James growing up.<\/p>\n
