The Meriwell Legacy: 8 (Casebook of Barnaby Adair)

Such a great detective story! The characters were all very real and interesting, and I enjoyed as the clues were revealed and analyzed. Stephanie Laurens is always exciting to read.

This book is different from Stephanie Laurens usual books because it’s not a traditional romance with a murder mystery attached. It’s the other way around. The bulk of the story is the murder mystery with a very little romance to add flavour.I really enjoyed reading the story, I worked out early on who was the “baddie” but I was blown away when they discovered the motive for the murders.It was great to catch up with Barnaby, Penelope and Stokes. I hope Curtis gets his story too. He seems like a very interesting man.

The way each character was woven in to the plot was just beautiful. Also I do love how the people from StephanieLand come and involve themselves in different stories. Love this.

Wow! What an intense mystery! Veronica is a nurse in the Meriwell household when Lord Meriwell dies by poison during a house party with his family and the family of a woman that one Meriwell member wanted to marry. Veronica is able to call in the doctor who was the Meriwell physician and warn him the symptoms that tell of a poisoning. David, the doctor, calls in his friend Barnaby, along with Barnaby's wife Penelope and Inspector Stokes to help him keep Veronica safe, as well as determine who killed Lord Meriwell. Then while they are all investigating, another person dies. This is how twisted and complicated all of this action is! Will they be able to figure out who did all this or will this be the one mystery that Barnaby and everyone does not solve? This one keeps you guessing until the very end!The pace is fast and the tone is intense with an action and character oriented storyline that has no steam, only hand holding. The characters are vibrant and engaging. We have many repeat characters, but very well drawn new characters as well. You can read this story on its own, but I recommend you read all 7 of the previous books before this one. Things will make much more sense if you do. Enjoy these fascinating historical mysteries.

This is one.of the Adairs mysteries. A murder takes.our couple.and.their friend Inspector Stokes.to Surrey to solve a murder and.protect a.family.name.As with this series there is a happy sweet love story. A great light read with some.familiar characters
