Review by: Lizzytish
Third in the series of Avery and Blake. We are in Victorian London
visiting the kitchens of real life chef Soyer. People at the Reform Club
( which also was a real place) are literally dying to eat the chef's
food.
Soyer was a fascinating and flamboyant figure who also was a great
inventor of the gas stove, among many other things. Politics of the
Whigs and liberals are also on the table. It's up to Avery and Blake to
discover the poisoner before the big feast for the
Prince of Egypt.
The pacing was slow and the descriptions of the food and workings of the
kitchen had me quite weary. It was good to see Matty again from the
second book.
