Death at Thorburn Hall by Julianna Deerling

Drew Farthering arrives in idyllic Scotland for the 1935 British Open at Muirfield, hoping for a relaxing holiday with his wife, Madeline, and friend Nick. But death meets him once again when Lord Rainsby, their host at Thorburn Hall, is killed in a suspicious riding accident--only days after confiding in Drew his fears that his business partner was embezzling funds.

Thorburn Hall is filled with guests, and as Drew continues to dig, he realizes that each appears to have dark motives for wanting Rainsby out of the way. Together with Madeline and Nick, he must sort through shady business dealings, international intrigue, and family tensions to find a killer who always seems to be one step ahead.

Death at Thorburn Hall by Julianna Deering is the second book in the Drew Farthingering Mystery series that I have read. And I do enjoy this series. It is such a nice cozy mystery, a lovely change of pace for me as a reader. Yes, there is death under mysterious circumstances and such, but overall the feeling you get reading this book is a nice, pleasant, cozy feeling. The marriage of Drew and Madeline lovely to see and their friendships and connections are cheerful and encouraging. When I think about these books, I keep coming back tot he word pleasant. And that is nice. The ending is quite a page turner too, so don't expect to be able to put this book down once you get near the end. This is a great addition to a fun series to read.

I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and Baker Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
