Mystery in the Highlands by Lydia Travers
4.0

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud and Daisy receive a letter from Daisy’s cousin, Clara, sharing her fears that two sudden deaths in her local choir weren’t accidental, at first Daisy thinks her cousin is overreacting. But Maud’s detective senses tell her something is afoot, and so they make haste to the Highlands to investigate. As soon as they arrive, Maud and Daisy go undercover in the choir to find potential suspects. But with one murder deemed a heart attack, and the other declared an unfortunate drowning, Maud and Daisy have their work cut out to find the killer. But finally they receive a clue in the form of an anonymous letter. Enclosed is a rhyme which they’re certain holds the key to the next murder
This is the third book in this entertaining series, I do love Maud & Daisy & thoroughly enjoy how they complement each other, Lord Urquhart, of course, features as he's a guest of the Laird. I love his love, hate relationship with Maud & delight in how it’s gradually changing & developing throughout the series. The book starts slowly but the pace increases & there's a sense of urgency once the riddles begin to arrive. This book is easily read as a standalone but I do recommend the whole series
My review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
