About the Book:

Lord Astley surprises his wife with a trip to America to see her family before they end their honeymoon adventures. But just as they arrive, they find Grace’s sister, Lillias, is the prime suspect in her husband’s murder. To add to the confusion a solicitor arrives to tell the sister’s they are needed in Scotland immediately to claim their mother’s inheritance.
 
The clock is ticking to clear Lillias of suspicion, but someone is determined to keep the sisters from reaching the Scottish Highlands. When Lillias disappears, Freddie and Grace race to Scotland, sure the answers will be found in a long-forgotten castle.
 
With a ghost from Frederick’s past leaving threatening clues along the way, the mysterious Mr. Kane waiting in the wings to grab the inheritance for himself, and an apparition haunting the infamous castle, Lord and Lady Astley must capture the castle, save Lillias, and not die in the process.
 
The Highland Heist is a Freddie and Grace Mystery, sequel to The Mistletoe Countess, The Cairo Curse, and The Juliet Code.

My Thoughts:

I’m not typically a fan of mysteries where murder is involved, but I couldn’t help but adore the Freddie and Grace Mysteries when the heroine is a dedicated bibliophile. Grace’s tendency to view every problem through the lens of fiction is just the type of creative thinking that is needed again and again.

Author Pepper Basham is also utterly creative, with twists, turns and surprises all along the way. From the shores of the US to the highlands of Scotland the fast paced and layered tale pulls the reader in and keeps them on their toes.

I’ve enjoyed the whole series and wholeheartedly appreciated this latest installment in Freddie and Grace’s adventures.

If you like globe trotting, treasure hunting, mysterious, edge of your seat adventures and don’t mind a healthy dose of romance thrown into the mix then this series is one you should check out.

I received a free digital copy of this book for review. My recommendation of this book is entirely my own opinion.
