BACK OF THE BOOK:
When young, pretty Eliza Anderson walks through Grace McKenna’s door begging for help finding her missing sister, it sparks the Portobello Detective Agency’s most dangerous investigation to date.
The trail leads Grace and her team to a plush clinic nestled in Scotland’s remote wilderness. On the surface, Whiteadder House seems too good to be true, offering miracle cures and luxury comfort at no cost. But as they dig deeper, the cracks in its gleaming façade start to show.
Before long, Grace and her protégée Hannah are fighting to infiltrate Whiteadder’s inner sanctum, going undercover while racing to uncover its dark secrets. Little do they know that Whiteadder’s founders have been buying influence at the highest levels to keep prying eyes away, and this time Grace is not going to get any help from the police. Has her handsome ex-husband Brodie been compromised too?
With the facility locked down tight and a web of corruption allowing Whiteadder to operate unchecked, Grace must trust her instincts and sacrifice everything to find a way in to save her client’s sister – and, even more difficult, a way out. Then a young woman’s body is found on a nearby beach – could it be linked to the clinic? Grace knows she must find out before more lives are lost…
A totally gripping Scottish cozy mystery. Fans of Clare Chase, Faith Martin and Frances Evesham will love this series.
REVIEW:
Murder at Whiteadder House is the third book in the series that follows Grace McKenna and her team at The Portabello Detective Agency. This time they take on the case of Eliza Anderson who needs help finding her missing sister.
This is a brilliant cozy crime story that mixes a great crime story along with amazing characters and underlying backstories that just make you want to keep reading. I have read previous books by the author and I love the story building and the pace at which everything unfolds and although you can sometimes work out what’s going on and who’s involved, there are always some of the characters there to throw a curve ball into the mix and I can’t wait to see what the outcome is for some of these characters in book four.
My only negative came at the end. It can’t end that way and why a fireman? Just wrong, Brodie forever.
