Murder at the Highland Castle

A Miss Underhay Mystery, Book 14

By: Helena Dixon

Narrated by: Karen Cass

A majestic castle by a Scottish loch, a glass of whisky by a roaring fire, stockings hung by the chimney...and a body? It’s a midwinter murder for Kitty Underhay!

Winter, 1935. Lightly dusted with snow and nestled on the edge of a sweeping Scottish loch, Finnglach Castle looks positively magical. Kitty Underhay, her husband, Matt, and their beloved dog, Bertie, are delighted to be celebrating the new year with a Hogmanay party, but just after midnight, a shot rings out across the grounds....

Their host, Lord Barlas, is dead, murdered in the snow. The killer’s footprints have vanished, and the gun is missing. With the snow-covered castle completely cut off and a killer in their midst, Kitty and Matt need to work fast to find the culprit before someone else ends up as dead.

As the weather worsens, the guests begin discussing dark Highland stories about evil spirits. But with an anxious daughter, a new wife set to inherit a fortune, and a suspicious spiritual adviser, Kitty is sure the killer is close at hand. Can she, Matt, and Bertie sniff out the treacherous culprit in time for haggis and whisky, or will they find themselves skating on dangerously thin ice?

If you love TE Kinsey, Agatha Christie, or Lee Strauss, you’ll fall head over heels for this historical mystery.

Change of setting was great

Well written and interesting from start to finish. The change of setting made the story interesting.

excellent

I really enjoy this series! The narrator is excellent and I noticed that she has adjusted her narration of this series very slightly and it helps distinguish it from another series she narrates by Verity Bright. Subtle but much appreciated!

Mystery Maven

Another great entry in the series. Interesting mystery, characters, and outcome. Top notch narration adds to the charm. Highly recommend.

Perfect

Great story, great characters, great narration, the only thing wrong is that I wanted it to keep going.

Fantastic narration!

I love this series! I can't wait to hear what happens to the Bryan's! A baby perhaps?
