An Appetite for Violets
Book description

Why read it?
1 author picked An Appetite for Violets as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Martine Bailey brings the Georgian period vividly to life and creates brilliant characters. An Appetite for Violets is set in 18th century Italy while The Penny Heart whisks us through the stench and horror of Newgate Gaol; the drawing rooms of the landed gentry and the fledgling penal colony in Botany Bay. Historical suspense at its best, these novels also have a delicious culinary twist. I'm now reading her third novel, The Almanack.
From Karen's list on Georgian and Regency mysteries.
