Not quite as exciting or gripping as the past Lady Emily books for some reason, but still fun and a solid read.
This historical mystery actually contains two parallel mysteries and the chapters alternate between the two. The Scotland setting adds to the brooding nature of the storyline. During a visit, Lady Emily,her husband Colin, and their sons become embroiled in helping to investigate the death of a gamekeeper. However, this man is not who he claimed to be, which complicates their investigations. Now they are not only seeking to uncover his killer, but also to find out his true identity. The best part of the story for me was the antics and comments of her three sons. The book includes author notes and a bibliography at the end.
I have read many of the Lady Emily mysteries, and I did not like this one as well as some of the previous offerings. I found the alternating narratives to be confusing, even though they were tied together at the end of the novel. I would have preferred to read these as two separate stories, as I felt the alternating viewpoints detracted from the overall storyline. There was just too much going on.
I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own.… (meer)

A good entry in this always enjoyable series. Off to the Highlands with the boys plus a pet crocodile to visit. The Duke and Laird is an excellent host and all is bucolic and well until his gameskeeper is stoned to death. There are many tales and legends to unravel before the culprit is revealed.

The part where we were supposed to believe the protagonist’s suspicions of the obvious love-intererests nefariousness was tedious to say the least. Absolutely no twists, turns or surprises at all.
The writing was ok, though a couple of Americanisms had snuck into the text and felt jarring. All in all, meh.
