The Price of Lemon Cake<\/em><\/a> (2023) Jennifer Ashley<\/a> (Below Stairs Mysteries Novella \/ Kat Holloway)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Set in London in 1882.<\/p>\n

Although Kat Holloway makes an appearance in this story, it is about Lady Bobby Perry and told from her point of view.<\/p>\n

Bobby is in love with Judith, and in this story we learn more about both Bobby’s history, her relationship with Judith, and how she interacts with the world. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d be astounded how much people see only what they wish to see. And anyway, I look so much like a bloke, no one has ever tumbled to me no matter where I go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kat comes with Bobby with a request for help–to see if they can get a young man out of trouble. <\/p>\n

In doing so, Bobby learns more about Judith and her past, and meets up with some of the shadier characters in Kat’s orbit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, you ain\u2019t police,\u201d (the man) snarled. \u201cWho are you? Your gents only told me you knew something to my advantage. What is it?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat it would be to your advantage to not linger in London,\u201d Mr. Fielding said without changing expression.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And now I want lemon cake. Even though I don’t much care for cake, and have never found a lemon cake recipe that was everything I feel lemon cake should be.<\/p>\n
