While out riding Duke's agent Raif Jarrett is waylaid by the owner of the Bucket and Broom Inn and tells him that a guest was discovered dead that morning. But he is not the first and he will not be the last suspicious death. More problems arise when Colonel Ison, M.P. and magistrate brings in the army as he expects trouble at the annual Easter fair held this year of 1812.
I like the strong, likeable male characters in this series. An interesting and enjoyable well-written mystery.

3.5
Another detailed and realistic depiction of the era, but that realism included a disappointing resolution to the central murder mystery. I wanted better, and am left uncertain whether I would read another in the series should there ever be one.
