I absolutely adore the Freddie and Grace Mysteries series! They have to be one of the best fictional couples. Grace’s sweet and quirky personality brings out Freddie’s thoughtfulness and care, and vice versa. The storyline is fun and engaging, always keeping me on my toes! I wholeheartedly recommend these clean and entertaining mysteries!

Another delightful book from Mrs. Basham! Freddie and Grace embark to go visit family in America, but as we all know nothing goes to plan for these two. They find Grace's sister in an unhappy marriage, her family home sold, and of course a murder. Things are never wuite as easy as they seem for these two, but with love, faith, and each other by their side, they can do anything. This book was given to me as an early reader copy, the words and thoughts are all my own.

This is the 4th in the Freddie and Grace mystery series and it's another fantastic Pepper Basham book! I just love these characters!

Frederick surprises Grace with a trip the US to visit her family before they head home. There she finds a mystery unraveling - her brother in law is dead and her sister is the main suspect. There is another mystery - the sisters have an inheritance in Scotland from their mother they weren't expecting. This book takes them to Scotland in search of a missing will to get their inheritance...and they find ghosts along the way. The dialogue between Frederick and Grace is so entertaining, they are some of my favorite characters. And I do hope we have a Mr. Blake story, he deserves happiness and love, too.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.

I love the Freddie and Grace series! They’re so fun and full of mystery and suspense! If you haven’t read the rest of the series, you should go do that now. I’ll wait. It documents Freddie and Grace as they meet each other and then get married and go off on their honeymoon adventures. The adventures during all of those times are fun, but definitely dangerous.

So hold onto your hat and get started reading! Again please do read the series in order. Don’t just start with this one or you’re going to be off and not know where you are because you’ll have missed out on so much!

Grace and her husband go for a visit to the states with their rag tag bunch. It’s a spur of the moment thing. They didn’t tell anyone. Grace didn’t even know as it was a surprise from her husband. But when they get to her childhood home they find it’s been sold. And when they arrive at her sister’s house they find that her sister is the prime suspect in her husband’s murder. The husband they find murdered on the floor that is.

And the excitement and such just keeps coming with a Scottish inheritance from their mother that they both have to claim in person. Something Lillias can’t do while under suspicion of murder. And the weird feeling that someone in the household cannot be trusted. Oh and the fact someone is out to kill them all. And let’s not forget who will inherit if they don’t show up.

This moves so quickly that you cannot put it down. Not that you’d even want to because it is just that wonderful!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review, nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

The way this intriguing mystery is presented offers a fun read—the characters, the situations, the word choices all add to the entertaining experience. The story contains plenty of suspense and the endearing newlywed couple, Grace and Frederick (who is a British lord) and their adopted Egyptian daughter, all add to the delight. It’s a book you won’t want to put down until you figure it all out and see how the dramatic tale ends. The author’s skilled writing weaves a twisting suspenseful narrative filled with surprises and increasing tension. It could stand alone, but this novel mentions much that happened previously so you will want to read all the books in this series in order for the best experience. I hope there will be another as their adventure continues. This book goes to American then Scotland after they’d travelled the world on their honeymoon. Where else might these amateur sleuths go and what else might they discover and solve? I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. #TheHighlandHeist #NetGalley.

Well, Freddie and Grace are back at it again, and I’m so happy to be journeying with them once more. Filled with wit, swoony moments, and danger and mysteries galore, this latest installment in the series is a delight for the mind and a feast for the heart. I hope there’s a next one!

Oh my word! This book is absolutely incredible! Grace and Freddie are two of my all time favorite characters, so it goes without saying that I was eagerly anticipating their fourth adventure! Pepper Basham is a creative genius, and that brilliance shines through yet again in The Highland Heist!
I love Grace so much! I love how her thoughts and words so often align with my own, but I also love that she inspires me to be a better person.
And of course Frederick was as dashing and wonderful as ever!
I can’t say very much about the story itself, because spoilers! But suffice it to say, this one was a wild ride. And I loved every single moment! I also have to say that I love playing detective, and most of the time rooting out the villain and predicting plot twists is like second nature to me. However, there is a plot twist in The Highland Heist that I did NOT see coming and I absolutely LOVED that so much! Well done, Pepper! Well done!
This book had absolutely everything I could want in a Freddie and Grace mystery and I adored every word!
The Highland Heist is now my second favorite of the series (The Mistletoe Countess will always be my number one fave, but this one is a VERY close second!)
This series will have my heart forever and a day! If you haven’t read them yet I highly recommend you jump in ASAP! While the individual stories do stand alone, they are definitely best read in order. So be sure to grab The Mistletoe Countess and books 2, 3, and 4, and prepare yourself to embark on the most delightfully joy-filled adventure you’ll ever experience!

Lord, I thank You so much for Pepper Basham, and for the incredible gift of storytelling You’ve blessed her with. I know her goal in life is to glorify You, and I pray that You would keep giving her the perfect words to write. I also ask that You would please remind her just how much she’s loved. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

My review was not influenced in any way. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own.

The Highland Heist opens with newly married Grace Pearcy all in the feels of her new and exciting married life. I feel her enthusiasm and how blessed she feels that Frederick is now her husband. Connecting with her is immediate and I rooted for her in her journey.

With wonderful settings of America and Scotland, I’m swept away and easily sink into the story. I’ve visited Scotland, but even if I hadn’t, I could see the scenes clearly. And I love how Frederick thinks and how he shows his love for his family.

This is such a fun who-dun-it, with elements of danger, humor, romance, and faith. I love the cover with its focus on Grace, and the mystery-laden Scottish castle in the background. And I have to say, the story grabbed me from its opening line.

#CoverLoverBookReview received a review copy of this book. Opinions are 100% my own.

I’m a fan of Pepper Basham’s books, although I had not read the books preceding this one, so it took me a bit to catch up on the characters in the story.

Grace is a charming woman who loves solving mysteries. Her new husband, Lord Astley, surprises her with a trip to America to visit her family. They arrive amid chaos with her sister, Lillias, a suspect in her husband’s murder. Additionally, she learns her mother has left property to her and her sister in Scotland, which they must claim quickly or lose it.

The writer certainly captures the reader's attention as she guides us through chaotic travel and mysterious events. Her story does not disappoint and keeps you guessing right until the end of the book. It’s packed with romance, murder, suspense, and mystery. Hold on as she whisks you through the adventures.

I loved this story. I have loved this series from the first book that I read. I think Grace and Freddie are wonderful characters and I love how they solve mysteries together. I also love how perfect they are for each other and how much they love each other. I loved the mystery in this story and how all the pieces didn’t fit together until the end. After reading this book, I want to go back and read the other books in this series. I highly recommend this book and hope there will be more Grace and Freddie mysteries.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

I adore Freddie and Grace, and Highland Heist is no exception. It might just be my favorite in the series—though it’s hard to top The Mistletoe Countess, so I’m still undecided. This installment had a couple of plot twists I truly didn’t see coming.

It’s a fun, surprising, page-turning adventure—and the fact that part of it takes place in Scotland, in a castle no less, made it all the more delightful.

Book 4 in the Freddie & Grace mystery series is such a delight. A surprise trip to America finds them another mystery to solve–this time involving Grace’s sister, Lillias–and they find themselves heading to Scotland. I enjoyed every twist and turn featuring this dynamic duo, and fully appreciate their relationship and individual personalities.

Pepper Basham knows how to write an engaging cozy historical mystery and I was completely invested in this one with all the family dynamics, secrets, adventures, and even a castle and a ghost.

I can’t wait to see where the next mystery takes this beloved couple.

Content: mild romance; non-graphic death

We need more Gracie and Freddie books right now. I adore these fictional characters so much that I'd love to meet them IRL. I mean, Freddie is the swoon worthy hero who adored his wife. And Gracie, she's matured so much since her marriage to Freddie. I loved the mystery. I honestly didn't see the ending coming and a few times was tempted to try to sneak a peek. But I was a good girl.

What I loved about it.

1. The humor. Just... chef's kiss.
"If tonight has taught us anything, it is that libraries are far more dangerous than I previously gave them credit for. And I gave them plenty of credit."

2. The swoony relationship between Freddie and Gracie.
"Marriage kept proving better than any work of fiction she'd ever read."

3. The mystery. It kept me on my toes.
"Anyone up for a late night treasure hunt in a haunted castle?" He wiggled his brows. "Nothing brings family closer, I've heard."

This book is worth every single minute of lost sleep.

All the love for this book & series! The dynamic husband & wife detectives are back & better than ever. Freddie & Grace embark on another mystery adventure this time taking them to America & Scotland! An inherited Scottish castle, murder, lots of twists & turns, & even a ghost make this fun historical mystery unputdownable!

Freddie & Grace travel to America to visit her father, but when they arrive, they find her family home sold & her father gone. Grace’s father’s landed in financial trouble which puts Grace’s inheritance in jeopardy. His solicitor offers hope when he delivers a last letter from her mother informing her of a Scottish castle inheritance for both her & her sister. The only catch, they must both arrive in Scotland within 3 months after the last laird’s death to inherit.

When Grace & Freddie find her sister’s home, they arrive in time to find her holding a knife over her dead husband. Grace doesn’t believe her sister is guilty, but their tumultuous relationship says otherwise. With the clock ticking, Grace & Freddie must prove her prickly sister innocent & find the real killer so they can make it to Scotland in time.

This book was so much fun! The mystery was complex with plenty of twists. There were several suspects with motivations & I loved the unexpected surprise in the middle. Not only is there a mystery in America, but when they arrive in Scotland, there’s a hiccup with the inheritance & a castle with puzzles of its own, including a supposed ghost. I loved Mr. Locke, the delightful caretaker of the castle & seeing Zahra play a role in the story.

Pepper Basham always has a lot of heart in her books. I enjoyed seeing Grace & Lillian become closer as sisters & find reconciliation. Also loved the messages of forgiveness & healing, with a gentle faith thread woven in. Freddie’s & Grace’s marriage continues to grow even stronger & I can’t wait for their next adventure!

Highly recommend! Though part of a series, it can be read as a standalone, but is more enjoyable if you’ve read the previous books in the series. I received an advanced copy from the publisher with no expectation of a positive review. All opinions are completely my own & provided voluntarily.

Oh my goodness! This was a fantastic mystery. This is the first book in the series that I've read, and now I want to go back and read the rest because this was such a good story. The book starts with a jolt of thrill when someone is discovered dead in the first few chapters. Combined with an inheritance to claim on a quick timeline and a sister who tends to make rash decisions, Freddie and Grace had their work cut out for them to fingure out who (and why!) did the heinous crime.

I also found Freddie and Grace's relationship with their adopted daughter to be completely fascinating. I'm going through the adoption process myself and could relate to their parenting worries and struggles. It added an extra layer of realness to the book.

While there is a murder described, the content was very clean. Nothing was too descriptive to cause nightmares, and the the drama was focused on relationships rather than guts and gore. My perfect type of mystery! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy of this book. A review was not required.

The Highland Heist is delightful in every way! Pepper Basham never fails to deliver a fun reading experience, and this fourth installment in the Freddie and Grace Mystery series is no exception.

Our newlyweds Freddie and Grace are back, visiting Grace's family in America only to stumble into yet another murder mystery. Grace’s sleuthing skills and Freddie’s unwavering support make them such a charming and dynamic duo!

The addition of Zahra added a sweet, intriguing layer to the story. Mysterious and observant, she fits right in with this sleuthing duo.

Charming, clever, and full of all the cozy mystery vibes this was such a fun read!

Thank you for the ARC all opinions are my own.

Did somebody say castle? Grace and her new husband, Frederick absolutely adore each other. Her sister Lillias on the other hand has some big attitude problems and her husband is one of many victims of this mystery. Grace and Freddie, and their capable adopted daughter are thrown into solving this mystery which is a delight to read. There are some superb twists and turns that will keep you alert indeed. The plot thickens when Grace and her sister discover they are heirs to the grand Mosselea castle in Scotland from their wise mother. But not without danger to themselves to retrieve it. Added into the charming group of amateur sleuths is Blake; a lively and comical character, which I found served as a great catalyst to the plot. I enjoyed the witty humour throughout. And relieved to see that maybe Grace’s sister will turn over a humble new leaf. I do hope there is a continuation to this series. I received this e-book for free from Celebrate Lit Tour and the opinions I express are honest and my own.
“There is no such thing as a coincidence -only clues we haven’t discovered yet.” and “You were the one pretending, and it hurt everyone.” and “All this romance is downright suffocating.” -Quotes from book.

I love Freddie and Grace!!
They’ve had lots of adventures and are finally ready to settle down and have some peaceful living.
But… they get to grace’s sister’s house in time to help solve the mystery of who murdered her husband.
And someone seems determined to do more killing.
Could it possibly have anything to do with that Scottish estates they might inherit?!
There is lots more mystery, danger, and more in this book! (Is it the final Freddie & Grace?! Please no!!)

I absolutely loved this story! The characters (of course!!! Freddie & Grace are so charming, who could help but love them?!) and their sweet and precocious daughter.... some of the secondary characters I wanted to shake some sense into, but.... otherwise!

I also loved the setting! Scotland - and an estate with an old castle?! Yes please!!

The mystery was just right!

I loved this story and it makes me sad to think this might be the end of this series.

I have been a fan of the Freddie & Grace Mysteries since their introduction in The Mistletoe Countess, and Freddie and Grace have become one of my favorite fictional couples ever.
First, I love Pepper's writing. Especially in this series. I've read every single one, and I will read every single one as long as she keeps writing them. Grace, or Lady Astley, is the perfect heroine. She's funny, and brave, and full of energy. I love her! Maybe the red hair has a little something to do with that, I don't know, but she is up there with my top favorite characters. She's memorable. And her husband watches over her and "puts up" with her antics in the most perfect romantic, swoony way. They are adorable as a couple.
The Highland Heist was as unexpected as it was romantic and fun. Every chapter brought a new surprise and an unexpected twist, keeping me on my toes and turning pages. It’s hard to share much about the book without risking spoilers, but I will do my best.
I will say I was a little disappointed that so little of the story actually took place in the Scottish Highlands and Mosslea Castle. Most of our time is spent in Virginia at the home of Lillias Dixon, Grace’s sister.
We’re reintroduced to two characters from the original novel, Lillias, and Freddie’s cousin, Stephen Blake. Which is why I highly recommend at least having read The Mistletoe Countess before digging into The Highland Heist.
One of my favorite elements of this story is the return of Lillias and the contrast between the two sisters. Lillias chose her life and yet, is unhappy with the way things have turned out. Grace, in many ways, did not choose her life, but she is happy and ever grateful to God for the way things turned out. It was interesting learning what happened with Lillias after her short introduction in The Mistletoe Countess and the massive role she played in the start of Freddie and Grace’s life together.
The mystery elements were well written, and I loved trying to piece things together along with the characters. This is a closed-door romance, but remember that this is a married couple, so their thoughts are a little different than might be appropriate for single characters. But it reminds us how beautiful and holy the intimate relationship is between a man and his wife.

And back to Blake, I really hope we get to see his Happily-Ever-After in a forthcoming book, plus I still would love to see Grace and Freddie visit India, however, I do believe their adventures are headed into WWI with the mention of the assassination of the archduke.
The Freddie & Grace Mysteries are the perfect blend of historical romance and cozy mystery. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves these genres, plus you get a heapin' helpin' of faith, hope, and the love of Jesus while being entertained.

Frederick takes Grace back to her home in America as a surprise, and boy does she (get surprised)! Her family home is no longer hers and a murder seems to follow her and her husband wherever they go. So much confusion and clues to sift through. And a surprise inheritance for Grace and her sister with an expiration date to muddle things up more.
Murder, danger and a ghost only adds to the excitement and kept his reader turning pages as fast as I could read. I mean, who needs to sleep, right?
How are going to get out of this fix?
