A FREDDIE AND GRACE MYSTERY
PAULA'S REVIEW:
A
murder, an inheritance, a castle in Scotland and the legendary Loch
Ness. Grace is in for more mystery in this engaging tale of searching
for a will with lots of family drama included. “She adored the thrilling
pursuit of finding answers. And there were a great many unanswered
questions piling up right before her.”
Ms.
Basham has crafted the ultimate sleuthing duo. I cannot get enough of
adorable Grace and darling Freddy. As Grace says: “I love it when you
talk sleuth.”
This
time they venture to Virginia to find sister Lillias and her husband
Tony and to visit their ancestral home. They are met with a crime
freshly committed and a surprise inheritance for the sisters that needs
to be quickly legalized. But of course complications arise and lives are
in danger.
The
author is a masterful storyteller and had me right there in the ancient
castle, viewing the carved depictions of legendary Scottish folklore
characters.
Along
with the danger, the author does not forget the romance of a couple on
their honeymoon nor the fact that they see everything through spiritual
lenses. “If the world is shifting beneath our feet, dear Fredrick, then
we must trust in the One who holds the whole world all the more.”
I just want this series to go on and on!

BackCover Blurb:
Grace Storms a Scottish Castle to Save her Sister
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.
