A nice little murder mystery that is fairly quick and easy to read. Perhaps a little old-fashioned, but that's part of its charm. Some twists you can see coming, but others are a surprise.

Rachel receives an invitation to stay at a castle in Scotland, along with some others - all of whom seem suspicious of each other. Tragedy strikes, and Rachel conceals some of what she knows until years later. Exciting and suspenseful story. (
