À propos de cet audio
"...Sweeping and intimate, warm and gripping. I loved it!" (Louise Penny, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache novels)
A single twist of fate puts a servant girl to work in Queen Victoria’s royal kitchen, setting off a suspenseful historical mystery by the New York Times best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and The Victory Garden.
Isabella Waverly only means to comfort the woman felled on a London street. In her final dying moments, she thrusts a letter into Bella’s hand. It’s an offer of employment in the kitchens of Buckingham Palace, and everything the budding young chef desperately wants: an escape from the constrictions of her life as a lowly servant. In the stranger’s stead, Bella can spread her wings.
Arriving as Helen Barton from Yorkshire, she pursues her passion for creating culinary delights, served to the delighted Queen Victoria herself. Best of all, she’s been chosen to accompany the queen to Nice. What fortune! Until the threat of blackmail shadows Bella to the Riviera, and a member of the queen’s retinue falls ill and dies.
Having prepared the royal guest’s last meal, Bella is suspected of the poisonous crime. An investigation is sure to follow. Her charade will be over. And her new life will come crashing down - if it doesn’t send her to the gallows.

Great Storyteller
I love this author's stories. So engaging. Above The Bay of Angels has a good story and some points of historical interest. Great performance. Hope there's another book in this series coming soon.

A Good Read
Vivid descriptions of culinary delights and also the descriptions of local markets was wonderful. I enjoyed the heroine and her story. Great narration as well.

Okay
I wanted to like this book because I have enjoyed others by Rhys Bowen. It was moving along pretty well until the last 2 hours. Then, too much improbable behaviour was used to explain things. The British were just not that enlightened in this era. Ruined it for me.
