Resumen del Editor

When Maud McIntyre and her lady’s maid Daisy travel into the Scottish Highlands, the last thing they expect to find is a body on the train. Will these keen amateur sleuths stop a murderer in his tracks?

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud McIntyre receives a letter from a maid called Rose, sharing her suspicions that something strange is happening in the house where she works, she and her assistant Daisy immediately travel to the Highlands to investigate.

But as they are changing trains, the body of a man falls from the carriage right in front of them, a bullet in his head. Maud and Daisy can’t believe it–they’ve waited ages for a new case, and now one has literally landed in front of them! And when the local police rule the death as a tragic accident, the pair has no choice but to investigate what they believe is a murder.

Arriving in the Scottish village, Maud and Daisy go undercover to begin their hunt for the murderer, while also investigating the strange behavior of Rose’s employer, a local art dealer. As they begin to piece together the chain of events, Maud and Daisy wonder whether the cases might be linked. Is it possible the man on the train was killed to cover up something in the village? And if so, who would do such a thing?

When a local artist is found murdered, Maud and Daisy become convinced the two cases are connected. Searching for the link between the deaths, will Maud and Daisy solve the case before another mysterious murder takes place?

A historical whodunnit perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey, and Catherine Coles.

Another Interesting Story

The performance was excellent and really helped the story . The story was interesting and fun. The story flowed well and was a good listen .

Enjoyable and fun

This is just as much fun as the first in the series. Helen McAlpine has a magical ability creating so many different characters, bringing them all to life and drawing us into the story.

Characters and performances

Each character has a unique voice and I love how well the performers can adjust to the new disguises they create for Maude and Daisy.

Still enjoyable

Enough mystery and humor to keep us entertained and guessing. Yes, we did know who the killer was, but it was still a relaxing read.

Death In Braemar

Great descriptions of Braemar and Braemar Arms, now the Fife arms. Good history lane geography esson too

Enjoyable Characters

Back for round 2. Overall, very fun and it is great good continuation from the 1st book.

Personally, I do not feel the detective jobs were as solid as the 1st. But I did like the countryside setting, I did like seeing the return of a certain character (beyond Maud and Daisy).

I do feel that this is turning into a very enjoyable series. I see I have 1 book to go, but I do hope that Lydia Travers continues to write the series.

As with the last book, Helen McAlpine is an outstanding narrator. A winning performance!
