Murder at Keyhaven Castle
By Clara McKenna
Stella Kendrick is looking
forward to her wedding to ‘Lyndy’ Lyndhurst.
However, as the day approaches, a few uninvited guests turn up, some
welcome, some not. When the identity of
a body is revealed to be that of a criminal known in the horse racing world, details
of a horse purchase begin to surface that threaten to reveal a counterfeit
transaction that will lead to another murder.
Having not read any of the
previous installments of this series, I must say it was easy to pick this third
book up and not have any problems following all the events. McKenna is gifted with a talent of weaving in
important details from previous story lines and making them feel new to this
story. The world of horse racing is a nice
change for me, as I learned a few things about racing and sales of horses. I don’t usually pick up
books that center around horses, but this one read differently. Though the horse racing was a key story line,
it wasn’t in the forefront for me as much as all of the characters.
I
thank the generosity of the publisher and NetGalley for providing an Advanced
Reader's Copy for my honest review.
(I
wish to ap0l0gize to the author and the publisher for errors in the original
review which have since been corrected,)
