Pallas Poppies
Lady Ellen Ashcombe checks into Millar’s Hotel while getting her house back in order after it’s been used as a convalescence home during the war.
While at the hotel she comes across two old acquaintances, one she’s glad to see and one she hopes would choke… only to fall dead into his soup.
Almost a little too cute and wholesome for me. Lady Ellen shows up in the kitchen as she likes one of the maids and helps her cut beans and butting in, in a way that really isn’t appropriate. She then commandeer the maid away from the hotel and acts pretty bossy. All while wanting to be treated like everyone else.
(I actually broke a rule when reading this book. I have banned books with the cover that has that pose, they are so many of them and they are never good)
