Historical mystery/own

Yay, I read one more! This one was a tad different. They all travel to attend a wedding, but of course there is a murder. They do want to investigate, but the local police (a tool) is in charge.

Mallory accompanies Gray, Isla and Mccreadie to his sister´s wedding. She is again put in that weird position as she is not staff, but she is not a real guest either. And most people do think she might be Gray´s mistress (she wish).

That whole thing is something they do think about here. She thinks about Gray´s reputation, he thinks about her. And they do totally fancy each other.

Murder. Who did it? They dig deeper, and try to stay out of the sight of the local cop.

A good mystery with deep disturbing roots. I liked this installment. It was fun to see them away from the city

Great narration. She is always good

After slipping 150 years into the past, modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson has embraced her new life in Victorian Scotland as housemaid Catriona Mitchel. Although it isn’t what she expected, she's developed real, meaningful relationships with the people around her and has come to love her role as assistant to undertaker Dr. Duncan Gray and Detective Hugh McCreadie.

Mallory, Gray, and McCreadie are on their way to the Scottish Highlands for McCreadie's younger sister's wedding. The McCreadies and the groom’s family, the Cranstons, have a complicated history which has made the weekend quite uncomfortable. But the Cranston estate is beautiful so Gray and Mallory decide to escape the stifling company and set off to explore the castle and surrounding wilderness. They discover that the groom, Archie Cranston, a slightly pompous and prickly man, has set up deadly traps in the woods for the endangered Scottish wildcats, and they soon come across a cat who's been caught and severely injured. Oddly, Mallory notices the cat's injuries don't match up with the intricacies of the trap. These strange irregularities, combined with the secretive and erratic behavior of the groom, put Mallory and Duncan on edge. And then when one of the guests is murdered, they must work fast to uncover the murderer before another life is lost.
