Murder at the Highland Castle (Miss Underhay #14) by Helena Dixon

 It's the season to settle in for another delightful cozy mystery in this series.


I love traveling with the Bryants. This time, it's off to Scotland in 1935 to visit Finnglach Castle for Hogmanay celebrations. It seems that Lord Barlas, their host, has invited them for their investigative skills as he has been receiving some death threats. Since a snow storm leaves the holiday group isolated on the edge of a forest loch, Kitty and Matt deduce that one of the other guests has murder on their mind. 


I have followed this series from the beginning and each time I open a new installment, it feels like meeting up with old friends again. I like Kitty and Matt as a couple and their investigative business though I also miss the activity and action at the Dolphin Hotel, along with the other characters there. This book focused mainly on Matt and Kitty and the events at the castle so some of the old, familiar faces were not along on the trip. I like the writing style and the way the author gives so many details about the time period. Love reading about the setting, the homes, the customs, the clothes, and the food! I always look forward to each new book. 


Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. If you are looking for a really delightful cozy mystery series set in the 1930s, then this is the one for you. 

This is the 14th book in a series that I think should be read in order from the beginning.

Genre - cozy mystery, 1930s, historical fiction
