Description

Wild-hearted Kentuckian Stella Kendrick cautiously navigates the strict demands of British high society as the future Lady of Morrington Hall. But when petty scandals lead to bloody murder, her outspoken nature could be all that keeps her alive . . .

Following a whirlwind engagement to Viscount “Lyndy” Lyndhurst, Stella is finding her footing within an elite social circle in picturesque rural England. Except tea time with refined friends can be more dangerous than etiquette faux pas—especially in the company of Lady Philippa, the woman Lyndy was once set to marry, and her husband, the ostentatious Lord Fairbrother . . .

Outrage erupts and accusations fly after Lord Fairbrother’s pony wins best in breed for the seventh consecutive year. The man has his share of secrets and adversaries, but Stella and Lyndy are in for a brutal shock when they discover his body floating in the river during a quiet morning fishing trip . . .

Now, Stella and her fiancé must fight against the current to catch the culprit, before they’re the next couple torn apart by tragedy.

I really enjoy this series. I love the historical setting, the characters and the mystery is always keeps me guessing. One domineering parent for each, so they at least have that in common. Rich American girl, Titled poor Englishman, but will they ever get to the alter with Mom not wanting it?

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review. - Looking forward to more.

Murder at Blackwater Bend by Clara McKenna a Mystery set in the early 1900‘s. An American equestrian from Kentucky with her fiancé who is a British Viscount investigate a murder. An Entertaining story with plenty of action, mysterious murders and romance throughout. The characters are original, snarky and fun. This is the second in the series and can be read as a stand alone but both books are excellent so why not read both.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. 5 Stars
