Wedding bells are set to ring as Dandy Gilver, family in tow, arrives in windswept Wester Ross on Valentine's Day. They've come to celebrate Lady Lavinia's fiftieth birthday and to meet her daughter Mallory, a less-than-suitable bride-to-be for Dandy's son Donald. But soon love is the last thing on Dandy's mind when the news breaks that Lady Lavinia has been found dead, brutally murdered in the middle of her famous knot garden. Strange superstitions and folklore abound among the Gaelic-speaking locals. But Dandy suspects that the tangled boughs and branches around Applecross House hide something much more earthly at work ... No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The families meet. Donald's betrothed, Mallory, is at least 7 years his senior. That initially causes Dandy and husband Hugh to bristle. However, following the sudden death of the fellow mother-in-law to be, the day before her 50th birthday, Dandy can find no fault with dear Mallory, a young woman of inordinate reason and relative calm.
As it turns out, Lady Lavinia's demise was not a natural one and there's a murderer among them. Well surely, such a sordid business would cause the cancellation of the nuptials, but in all fairness, Donald can't jilt dear Mallory with her mother just recently dead. Dandy and her business partner Alec Osborne are on the case. They discover that a number of persons had motive to kill but the reader is held in suspense almost to the bitter end.
If historical fiction mysteries with a touch of humor appeal to you, then you won't want to miss this series and certainly not this book. ( )
