She soon realizes that things are not what they seem to be in Langcliffe, and with the finisher on the run and an ever-growing list of doubtful, this is not the party Kate was hoping for…”

I received a copy of this book from the publishers, and this is my honest opinion about the book.

Kate Shackleton took her niece Harriet to the countryside to recover from an illness. It will also give Kate time to evaluate her relationship with Lucian Simonson. While staying with Lucian’s after aunt, Fred, Kate discovers that Fred witnessed a execute 10 years ago and that she was convinced that the wrong person had been judgmented and hanged for the crime. Kate is initially reluctant to investigate, but soon finds herself embroiled in the secret.

Although this is only the second Kate Shackleton book that I have read, it was a pleasure to return to Kate’s characters, Mr.This time they are joined by Kate’s niece, Harriet, who adds another element to the story, because she wants to become a detective, just like her aunt.

The scenery and the characters are well drawn. I could easily imagine the village and the inhabitants, some of whom have something to hide. The atmosphere and the feeling of the 1920s were superbly transmitted, and I found myself transported to what I thought was a village from 1926.

The secret was exciting. Was the wrong man hanged ten years ago for the brutal execute of a local pub landlord? Another suspicious passed away brings confusion to the big picture. What does this have to do with the disappearance of a little boy and an old love story that ended years ago? It was a pleasure to read together and play the office detective trying to guess the delinquent.

Kate Shackleton’s investigations are what I like to call “tricky” execute mysteries, if I’m sorry for the oxymoron. Blood, guts and baked blood are not there, and this was before the appearance of DNA, so the research focuses on the power of the brain unsupported by science. There is no reprimand here, the roughness is hidden and the social hierarchy turns out to be important. These are books to snuggle up with on a rainy day between the “Poirot and Miss Marple” series.

This is the seventh book in the series, and although I prefer to read the series so that I can read it separately. While I’m waiting for the next book, I’ll have to go back to the beginning.
