Janet's Reviews > Murder in an English Castle

Spring 1959 & the Historical Society is rehearsing their re-enactment of the Battle of Lewes. But the fun ends abruptly when Alex Vicary falls to his death from the castle ramparts. Alex’s best friend sous chef Hector asks Flora and Jack investigate further as he is certain Alec was pushed.
The tenth outing for Jack & Flora and another well written cosy mystery. Whilst it could easily be read on its own I’ve loved how relationships between the regular cast members have grown & developed. There are secrets, misunderstandings, twists, turns & red herrings until the villain is uncovered. The newly wed couple investigate on their own until the police realise Alec’s death was no accident. One of the highlights of the book was Flora tackling a solicitor in his office. I thoroughly enjoyed the book & look forward to the next
