Review: Death at a Highland Wedding by Kelley Armstrong

★★★★ #KelleyArmstrong #DeathataHighlandWedding

Time traveling into historical Scotland with Ms. Armstrong pulls me in like no other time travel story. I love that this is more about mysteries than romance. Whilst the story is enhanced with the sexual tension between Mallory and Gray. . . it is their detective work together that pulls me in. In the latest installment, kilts are a flapping and there's a murder afoot.

What I enjoyed most about this story is the blend of historical romance with all the dramas at a "country party" and the whodunit plot. Once again it is up to Mallory to figure out why someone was killed and if it was indeed the butler who did it. There were a couple of red herrings throw in by Ms. Armstrong which pleased me. Because it made this a more engaging read because the killer wasn't obvious. In addition, throwing in a junior country constable with a chip on his shoulder added to the drama.

There is also a hint of how Mallory could possibly return back to her time. I still feel mixed because I am unsure if I would prefer her to return home or stay with Gray. The longer she stays in the past, the more bonds and connections she makes with Gray and his family. The harder it will be when Mallory has to leave. I am wondering how Ms. Armstrong will resolve this increasingly tense conflict of interest.

This historical suspense is recommended to readers who enjoy a twist of time with romantic elements.
