A Question of Inheritance by Elizabeth Edmondson
5.0
A Question of Inheritance follows fairly closely on from A Man of Some Repute, with the empty space between the books revealing the shocking news that Lord Selchester had an heir in America. Strange things happen, some accidents appear a little bit too co-incidental and once again someone is murdered at the castle - it seems like a bit of an unlucky place! For a second time Hugo, with the help of his sister Georgia and Freya must use their investigative powers and smarts to try and figure out what exactly is going on.
I really like the setting of this novel and the proceeding novel, and love the descriptions of the castle and of village life in England in an era where class barriers were still there; but beginning to merge. The writing is lively, descriptive and easy to read, and the mystery kept me turning the pages. There some drama, some violence, some espionage and a bit of history and culture thrown in too, an excellent mix!
I would recommend reading A Man of Some Repute first, as it gives a great deal of backstory about most of the main characters in this novel and was an excellent read.
I really appreciate the opportunity given to me by NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer with an advanced review copy of this book.
