dmcneill24 's review for:

Death at a Highland Wedding by Kelley Armstrong
4.0

This series has everything I love: historical setting, mystery, romance, and well-developed characters. This most recent installment finds Mallory, Duncan, Isla and Hugh traveling to the Scottish highlands for Hugh’s sister’s wedding. Everything is brought to a stumbling halt when one of the guests is murdered.

The new setting brought a fresh feel to the series, and I love all the little moments of developing romance between our main characters. I also enjoyed the additional difficulties of our heroes not having jurisdiction in the case, so they had to work around the overly eager, and totally green, local constable.

I thought the mystery was decently plotted but the resolution could have been better fleshed out. For how long it took to get to the real heart of the case, I would think the author could spend more than ten pages resolving it. I still enjoyed every minute, even though the author continues to mess with us with those will-they/won’t-they moments. The missing letter had me screaming, but I truly think the next in the series will be worth the wait.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this early arc. All opinions are my own.
