Avery Kent

Enjoyable mystery with all the suspects in the old house/castle.

During renovations Kitty's cat finds a lost room at the castle, filled with Egyptian artifacts brought back to England by the grandfather of the current owner and her employer, Richard. Richard decides the right thing to gift them to a museum in Egypt, but not before putting them all on display, including a fabulous necklace, to get some publicity for the castle and its renovations.

But almost as soon as they go on display one of the guests is murdered, and the necklace is stolen. Then the murderer strikes again, and Richard himself is also attacked. Will he become a third victim? Can Kitty dig through the clues and suspects to work out who the killer is before it is too late?

The characters are likable, and the dialogue between them believable. While in no way a thriller, there is excitement as the plot unfolds and the danger to Richard and Kitty increases.

Recommended for lovers of cosy mysteries, particularly those with an interest in antiques, Egyptology or stories set in old castles.
