Murder at Wakehurst by Alyssa Maxwell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

1899 A few days after the death of Cornelius Vanderbilt II has died, the wife of the eldest son, Neily, asks Emmaline Cross to accompany them to a fete at the home of James Van Alen. She wants Emma to watch out for her husband. Unfortunately at the fete Emma discovers the body of a murdererd man, killed by an arrow, and decides to investigate even though warned off by the new murder detective.
The story unfortunately didn’t totally capture my interest, nor did I found the motive convincing. I also found Emma’s nosiness just too much this time.
Overall an enjoyable well-written historical mystery.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
