Book Reviews of The Thief Taker: A Novel
Book Review: A Mystery to Make Your Mouth Water!
Summary: 5 Stars
Janet Gleeson has not only created a very clever murder mystery, but she's also researched this tale right down to the soup bones. Her main character, Agnes Meadows, is the chief cook in an 18th century home of renown London silversmiths. Gleeson's delectable descriptions of period dishes combined with the tasty tidbits of 18th century English life bring this mystery to a perfect boil. I'm dead envious of her ability to so naturally weave together the historical facts with such well-drawn characters. I can't wait to read another of her books!
