Synopsis (Amazon)
A VALUABLE INHERITANCE, NO SIGN OF THE HEIRS...and a looming deadline. Can the women of the WISE ENQUIRIES AGENCY track down the missing men in time? Or are there good reasons for them not wanting to be found?
The sixth book in the series finds the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency looking forward to spending their first Christmas and New Year together as guests of the Duke and Duchess of Chellingworth. They’re expecting some memorable festivities – which might owe more to ancient Welsh traditions than mince pies and plum puddings if Dowager Althea has anything to do with it.
What they aren’t expecting are the worrying twists and turns they encounter while tackling the troubling case of missing triplets and a deepening mystery, and tragedy, associated with a trove of antiques…not to mention the bizarre and disturbing “gifts” being left on the front doorsteps of some very puzzled and perturbed locals.
A further complication arises when Duchess Stephanie’s parents arrive to support her through the imminent arrival of her first child; did the seemingly squeaky-clean businessman they got involved with on their recent holiday strike a deal with them that was too good to be true?
Join our softly poached professional investigators for Christmas and New Year in Wales…and find out!
My Take
The perfect start to a new year of reading, albeit cozy crime fiction.
The author has become even more adventurous with the number of sub-plots that she juggles at once. I enjoyed the development of characters of each of the WISE women and the relationships they are part of.
Seriously, if you are a reader of British cozies, and you haven't tried this series, then here is something for this year.
My rating: 4.5
