Death at a Highland Wedding

A Rip Through Time Novel, Book 4

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Kate Handford

Death at a Highland Wedding is the fourth installment in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's gripping Rip Through Time Novels.

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.

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s unique time travel mystery series continues to entertain as Mallory adjusts to life in the 1870s.

Can’t Get Enough

I absolutely love this series—I listened straight through and was genuinely sad when it ended. The characters are so well developed, and the narration is engaging and brings the story to life. I can’t wait for the next installment!

The voice actors work was incredible. The story is vivid and captivating. Love all of Kelley Armstrong series.

Loved the story and concept. This is such a great series. Cannot wait for another book.

accents are fun!

when a story is set in Scotland and you have one Austrian or German character its fun to hear the narrator use different accents. love KA mysteries always fun and non-triggering language.

I love this series!

I love this series, although the slow burn of the romance between the 2 primary characters is a very slow burn & Im ready for something to happen! The mysteries are gripping & I love the characters! I can’t wait for the next installment!

Good, but getting impatient

Enough with Duncan & Mallory not knowing if the other one has ‘feelings’ for the other. Get on with the next chapter of their storyline. It doesn’t make sense otherwise, the rest of what that has been written doesn’t make sense unless they evolve as well. K.A. is one of my favorite authors, I think I’ve read all of her books…several times, but this is the first time I’m getting really annoyed, enough already. Thank you for writing, I really enjoy your books, even though I’m being an impatient brat.

AAAHHH!! I’m in love and want to pull my hair out…

I absolutely love this series and this author but sometimes her characters can be obtuse to a level of major frustration! This was another great installment but adds up to about the fifth time that Duncan “almost” admitted his true feelings. The characters are captivating and interesting but for grown intelligent people especially a detective they are aggravatingly naive or clueless sometimes. I somehow always end up frustrated but completely enthralled. I did think this particular story had one too many twists that just didn’t seem necessary. But, I also listened to the whole thing in two days. Kelley Armstrong really does bring the characters to life and the narrator does an amazing job depicting them.
I did particularly like the way this book included the back story without being overly repetitive. This was the first in the series where I had a really hard time figuring out the “who did it”. The prior books did a great job with the misdirection and making you question, but this one keeps you guessing until the very end. I will be impatiently waiting for the next story.

Love it!!!

It was perfect! Ideal mix of mystery and personal relationships between characters!
Captivating and entertaining! Loved the story!
And, yes, thank you, author, for Hugh in kilt… this picture will live rent free forever in my mind 😁

Strong female lead with great characters surrounding her

I love this new book. Mallory and Dr. Gray are at it again and the tension between them grows thicker. Hopefully, the next one comes out soon.

Another stellar story by Armstrong

This is a wonderful series. In this installment the detective team attends a wedding in the highlands where one of the guests is murdered. They don’t have jurisdiction, but decide to investigate anyway. You don’t see it coming so enjoy the resolution!

The best of the series

I love this series, but I think this is the best book so far! Please keep them coming!!
