Murder at Kingscote by Alyssa Maxwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1899 Newport, Rhode Island. Emma Cross, editor-in-chief of the Newport Messenger, and her friend Derrick Andrews, are attending a dinner party hosted by Ella King, when her drunken son disrupts the proceeding. A few minutes later the the butler is discovered, dying, pinned to a tree by Philip King's car. Detective Jesse Whyte investigates with the help of Emma and Derrick.
But was it an accident, or murder. But what could be the motive if murder.
An entertaining historical murder mystery, well-written and with a varied cast of likeable characters. Another good addition to this series.
ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
