The Cook He Suspected
A Domestic Thriller Victorian Historical MysteryBy Edith Norwood
Length10h 46m
About this audiobook
Margaret Fellows cooked for the Ashcrofts for eleven years. She knows which floorboard creaks, which oven runs hot, and what the master of the house buried under his own kitchen in 1892.
When the silver went missing, Margaret was dismissed without a reference. She did not argue. She walked out the scullery door and waited three years for a reason to come back.
She returns as a kitchen maid under another name. The new Mrs. Ashcroft cannot sleep. The housekeeper has started hearing a sound beneath the tiles. And Margaret is ready, this time, to put down her spoon and pick up a trowel.
A slow-burn Victorian domestic thriller about the people who cook the meals and keep the secrets, told in the voice of a woman who has decided she is done keeping them.
