Death from the Druid's Grove

The Kier and Levett Mystery Series, Book 2

De: Deb Marlowe

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Secrets hide in the Druid's Grove, in a murderer's heart, and in Niall Kier's past . . .

October 1851. After millions of visitors and months of success, the Great Exhibition is winding down. Mr. Niall Kier and Miss Kara Levett are busy with the celebrations planned for the last weeks—and with all the commissions their involvement has brought them. Their artistic works stall, though, when the closing ceremonies are interrupted by a murder.

Suddenly, a friend is under suspicion and the murder has been linked to the Druid's Grove, the secret society in which Niall is a member and Kara has just been inducted. They dive in, hoping to quickly clear their ally's name, except nothing is simple in the Grove and no one is exactly who they seem to be.

Niall and Kara put their talents and resources to work once more, but they find that old, sinister secrets might be behind the present-day bloodshed.

And as they investigate, it appears someone might also be digging about in Niall's mysterious past.

I’m loving this series.

The building connection between the two protagonists is delicious. It’s fascinating to see the mysteries in each story come to a conclusion. But the complex relationship between the Hero and the heroine is ongoing and compelling to watch to see how it’s going to work out in the future.

Marlowe is such a favorite and she keeps getting better and better, and that is a tough task to accomplish. Recommended for series lovers and historical mystery readers.

Adding Romance and Suspense to this Mystery series

Marlowe has a deft hand at creating suspense and romance that adds another layer to this already compelling story. The characters have gradually become more allowing the reader to experience both their range of emotions as well as their abilities in tracking down a killer.

Intriguing

Excellent entry in the series. A puzzle that is fairly presented, but with interesting twists. It lacks a bit of the depth found in, say, Andrea Penrose or Deanna Rayburn, but I suspect that those details will be added as the series progresses. Excellent narration.
