Murder in an English Castle (Flora Steele, #10)
by
by
An historical re-enactment of a battle ends in tragedy when one of the participants falls from the ruins. Everyone thinks it is a terrible accident until Alex's best friend convinces Flora and Jack to investigate...
Murder in an English Castle is the 10th book in the Flora Steele series of murder mysteries set in the 1950s.
Flora and Jack are enjoying the experience of the battleground when Alex falls. His best friend Hector is sure that someone pushed his friend and the amateur sleuths begin to agree that the circumstances are suspicious. Suddenly they expose a range of suspects with a variety of potential motives but things get more complicated when another body is found.
We are straight into the action at the battle site at the start of the book but it then takes some time for the death to be recognised as murder. Alex appears to have no enemies at first but gradually his issues with various characters come to light. On the personal side of the plot, Flora and Jack are still negotiating married life and their work schedules. As always, I enjoyed the historical context of the series and thought that the Sussex village was brought to life.
Murder in an English Castle is an enjoyable historical murder mystery.
