What an intriguing storyline! The backdrop of the castle and Felicity engaging with distant relatives allows for significant and interesting plot twists and a couple of surprises along the way! The characters and surrounds are vividly described so the reader can engage with the story on an emotional level. The various personalities and agendas definitely keep it interesting.
I have read all the books in this series by Rosie, so have got to know and enjoy the key characters. I look forward to the next one. I recommend both this episode and the series to those who enjoy this cozy murder mystery genre.
Just to be aware that spiritualism and seances do pop up within the overall storyline, which may be of a concern to some.
From Kel:
Rosie Hunt is a whizz at historical, cosy fiction, and “Murder in the Castle” is a fantastic addition to the Lady Felicity Quick mystery series. Off to an English castle to meet family she didn’t know about, Felicity finds herself in the middle of yet another mystery! At first, it seems to be only family politics and old wounds, but soon the twists start coming and Felicity and Alex have to keep their wits about them! I appreciated being back in a traditional cosy mystery setting and loved the new cast members, the new family are a hoot! The wrap-up is satisfying and I can’t wait for the next book! This is an awesome read from start to finish, highly recommended and five out of five on the en-JOY-ment scale!

Racing against time, Felicity must investigate old grievances, expose murderous motives, and decode the testimony of an animal witness — before she and Alex are framed as the wrong-doers!
If you love smart, intrepid detectives like Miss Kitty Underhay and Miss Marple and the puzzling historical mysteries of Verity Bright and Rhys Bowen, then don’t miss Murder in the Castle!
