Loved this novel about Bridget, who in 19th century NYC was reduced to being a pickpocket to help her mother and sister survive. Fate does have its twists and turns - and she becomes what today is called a personal chef-this in the home of a wealthy family! Not intriguing enough? Well - she finds a body in the kitchen and moves to the role of crime solver.
What adds to its interest, as one review said is "a melange of recipes, cooking hints, and tidbits of Manhattan history"
