pickA murder-at-the-manor mystery, this adds an extra level of ambiance with it being set in Scotland during the holidays. A body is discovered in the dungeons. After deducing that the man met his end by nefarious means, Kiera and Sebastian are asked by the host family to suss out the killer from amongst the invited guests. Trouble is, everyone has their secrets, and no one wants to share.
pickDollycas‘s Thoughts
The author sets a scene in almost a magical way. From the deep, dank catacombs, to the Sunlaws suites and ballrooms, and the Scottish countryside.

pickI have enjoyed this series since I read the first book. I think this may be the best yet. Certainly, it‘s my favorite since the initial installment. The writing is a cut above many historical novels. There were a number of interesting plot twists and red herrings. I also love the complex characterizations. Definitely recommend.
Enjoying my book and a cup of Earl Gray on the patio after this morning‘s walk.
Yesterday was release day for this, and it arrived yesterday afternoon. One of my favorite authors and a great series. I‘m excited to start this.
1. Not an activity, but I love watching all of the gorgeous trees/bushes/flowers bloom in glorious colors! 💙💚💛🧡💜
2. A little of both...but probably lean more toward introvert.
3. 9 and quite a few of those were very enjoyable. 😊
4. I‘m a day late (and a dollar short, as my Nanny used to say 🤣), so if you‘d like to play and haven‘t, please jump in! 😊
Thanks for the tag @eanderson ! 💕

pickThe mystery was interesting and I loved that it was woven around a Twelfth Night party that was a little naughty in nature, not religious. The roles at the party muddied the investigative waters so to speak for Gage and Kiera and there were a few great twists that were a bit of a doozy. From the discovery of the body to the conclusion of the case, the clues kept on coming but the danger also escalated and this was a great read.
pickMy visits with Kiera and Sebastian are always such fun and much too short. This adventure finds them celebrating Twelfth Night at a duke‘s castle and stumbling upon an unknown murder victim during a ghost tour in the underground tunnels/catacombs. 😳The duke‘s rather large and unorthodox family are prime suspects, and Huber‘s descriptive writing and plot kept me riveted (as usual). Her characters are so real and engaging I don‘t want to leave. ⬇️
I feel so fortunate to have received this ARC for the next installment of the Lady Darby series (number 8)...one of my very favorites! 💚💚💚 If you enjoy historical mysteries and haven‘t read Huber, give her a try. She also writes the Verity Kent series (love it too!).
