Synopsis:
The emerald hills and violet valleys of Wales seem the ideal place to start over after murder—and divorce—shattered Eilidh’s life in the Scottish Highlands. But within the stone walls of an ancient castle, a family’s dark, violent past threatens much more than her newfound tranquility . . .
For the past two years, Eilidh has called the quaint Welsh village of Thistlecross home, embracing her new life as estate manager of a restored fifteenth-century castle. But the long-anticipated arrival of her employer’s three estranged sons and their wives transforms Gylfinog Castell from a welcoming haven to a place seething with dangerous secrets. When the escalating tensions culminate in murder, Eilidh must sift through a castle full of suspects both upstairs and downstairs. She can trust no one as she follows a twisting maze of greed and malice to ferret out a killer who’s breaching every defense, preparing to make Eilidh the next to die.
Review:
This was a really quick read for me, I ended up finishing it in barely 2 sittings. There is a lot of build up and then 2 murders back to back, with a lot of character development. It's a light read and I guessed at the suspect as soon as all the family arrived, but it was fun seeing how the story played out. This would be a great book for reading curled up by the fire on a blistery day like today! Though all the talk of food MIGHT just make you hungry, LOL, so have some snacks handy!
