A Lively Midwinter Murder
ISBN: 9781408720424
Description
A high society Christmas Eve wedding at a remote Scottish castle sounds like the perfect winter getaway for the three Dahlias and their partners - until a snowstorm hits, cutting them off from the mainland, and civilisation. Which, of course, is when the dead body of one of the other guests turns up in the snow outside the family chapel. A dead body wearing a wedding dress and a stolen diamond necklace.

The Dahlias return for a fourth mystery, this time set in a classic setting of a remote Scottish castle, snowed in for the winter, and thus providing a neat set of suspects to investigate.
It's a challenging mystery with a lot going on amongst all the suspects, and within our group of stars. For the first time all three of their partners have been brought along for the ride too, adding some interesting new elements to the dynamic but also supplementing their number in a convenient manner.
Some very distracting red herrings popped up along the way, one in particular that distracted me away from what was really going on, but which was seemingly never actually followed up on by the characters.
An enjoyable adventure, and I look forward to many more.
