A Knife in Darkness by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1829. Newly married Hippolyta Napier has arrived in Ballater with her husband, Dr Napier. She has made friends with Basilia Verney of Dinnet House. Only to arrive early one morning as per-arranged to find Basilia's uncle Colonel Verney, and his batman Foreman dead. Durris the Sheriff's officer is called in to investigate, but Hippolyta is curious to discover the truth.
An enjoyable and well-written mystery with a cast of varied characters. A very good solid start to the series
