     A Stroke of Malice - Anna Lee Huber                                                                                          (Series)

#monopolychallenge - B&O RR - 50 years in the past

How nice to have a series where you feel like you are catching up with old friends.!!

Lady Darby and Sebastian Gage take us on another adventure, in Scotland this time.  We attend a Twelfth Night Party, tour the underground tunnels of a castle and find a semi-decomposed body in the crypt.  And so the adventure begins!

Ms Huber does a great job with  the descriptions of the castle and clothing from this time period. 

Goodreads::Lady Kiera Darby and her husband Sebastian Gage are looking forward to relaxing with new friends at an exciting yearly soiree, but they soon learn that murder never takes a holiday in the latest riveting installment in this national bestselling series.


Scotland 1832.
 After enjoying a delightful holiday with her family, Lady Kiera Darby is looking forward to finishing her new friend, the Duchess of Bowmont's portrait, as well as attending the duchess' annual Twelfth Night party. Though she normally avoids such fashionable events, Kiera trusts the attention will not be focused on her, but rather her notorious hostess and her family. But upon their arrival at the opulent Scottish estate, Kiera and her husband and fellow investigative partner, Sebastian Gage, swiftly deduce that all is not merry in the duke's household. The family appears to be under a great strain, and someone seems determined to cause mayhem among the guests with a series of forged notes.
