I’m back again with Daniel Sellers’ book Murder at Ardaig Castle. This time it’s my review of the book.
Blurb
MEET DETECTIVE LOLA HARRIS. A TOUGH COP WITH ATTITUDE, BUT A GOOD HEART.
A secluded retreat. A storm closing in. A killer among them.
Detective Lola Harris is persuaded to take a much-needed break in the remote Scottish Highlands. She’s expecting peace and quiet. But Ardaig Castle, an exclusive wellness retreat for the rich and famous, has its own dark secrets.
Lola soon discovers that someone is sending poison pen letters to the staff. They’re growing more malicious each week. The latest reads: Why have you employed a killer among your staff?
As a storm rages outside, paranoia spreads within. The castle’s wealthy guests are rattled, old wounds are reopened and then — a body is discovered sprawled on the stone-flagged floor of the castle hallway, limbs twisted at an impossible angle.
Trapped by the weather, Lola must untangle a web of lies, grudges and hidden pasts before the killer strikes again.
Because at Ardaig Castle, not everyone is who they claim to be — and someone will kill to keep their secrets buried.
My Review
I loved this book! First of all, it’s set in Scotland. Second, I’ve been to the area where the weekend at the castle is located.
Now, on to the book. It started on a bit of a slow burn for me, but when it took off, I couldn’t stop turning the virtual pages! Lured to the castle by her sister under false pretenses, Lola finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. Cut off from the outside world due to a severe storm, it’s up to her to solve the case.
I enjoyed it so much that I will get the first four Lola Harris Mysteries.
