December 1882 When cook Kat Holloway is blamed when a dinner guest mysteriously takes ill after eating one of her meals, she sets out to prove she had nothing to do with the gentleman's sickness. She discovers a whole host of people who might wish to do away with the man, and she and her friends-Daniel McAdam, Lady Cynthia, Mr. Thanos, and various members of the household staff-begin to hunt for the would-be killer. Simultaneously tasked with crafting the perfect Christmas feast, including the pièce de résistance, the Christmas plum pudding, Kat frantically works to finish all, fearing she'll have to choose between stopping a murderer and cherishing her few precious Christmas moments with her daughter.
