Book Review: Murder at Wakehurst by Alyssa Maxwell

  

 
Murder at Wakehurst by Alyssa Maxwell
1899 Emma goes with her cousin and his wife to the event as her uncle had passed away.
The hierarchy comes into play, now that the head of the family is dead, who will really inherit
 it all.... She is so surprised she even was mentioned in the will.  Her will accompany her cousin and his wife to the party at Wakehurst to keep Neilly in check with his drinking. While at the event Emma wanders off when the hears the dogs barking and she knows what it means.... She does discover a body and she has many clues as to things that transpired that night. SHe is also a bit upset that the regular detective is NOT covering the case. As  a reporter she has a lot of information from questioning others who were there... So many twists and turns and a lot of characters are involved in the many mysteries in this book.
Love the elegance of the mansion, one I've yet to visit and all the finery that is detailed so highly I can picture that also. Never saw it ending as such, wow. Love nature and discussion about Sachuest Point where we currently hike today.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
