The aristocracy abide by a different set of rules...or so it seems to Sam Applewhite when her job brings her to Candlebroke Hall, the stately home. The burglary definitely wasn’t what it appeared to be, and the subsequent accidents suggest that it’s a dangerous place to spend time.

Sam is caught up in events as she tries to protect the interests of young Hilde Odinson, part of the local viking family. The Odinsons insist on doing things their own way though, with scant regard for the law. In the meantime, Sam starts to understand that while many people would kill to live at Candlebroke Hall, maybe there are others who would kill to get away from it.

Super fun twisty mysteries. The reader is amazing and these are authors you can count on for the urbane and bizarreness of life.

Note: While this is book 3 in the series, it works mostly fine as a stand alone but the previous books would give you some fun background on the Odinsons.

I do have a soft spot in my heart for Viking ships and so it was great to see the Odinsons’s ship Sandraker featured in this book. The Odinsons are such a fun bundle of contradictions, wanting to embrace the ‘old ways’ but still have modern comforts. I especially like Hilde as she got all the brains. Also Rune Splitter did his best to clue the clan into their legal rights and issues surrounding Sandraker.

Meanwhile, there’s a new romantic interest (Kiki Lettuces) in Marvin’s life. Sam (Marvin’s adult daughter) isn’t too sure what to think of this Kiki and her funny accent. But both have plenty of stage stories to share and still love the art of acting and entertaining the masses. Plus there’s a movie shoot being attempted in the area that Kiki is part of.

Take all that and couple it with several missing antiques and someone targeting the local DefCon4 Security office here Sam works, you get a twisty, turny, humorous mystery. Haha! Doug the DefCon4 Security cactus! I laughed out loud when Sam got in trouble from the home office because someone reported that Sam and Doug were seen in public drunk.

This series has been a lot of fun. Book 1 was awesome and book 2 was pretty good and now here with book 3, we are back to awesome. 5/5 stars.

The Narration: Matthew Lloyd Davies is still doing a great job with this series. He does all these regional accents that really add to the story and I love how he handled Kiki’s ridiculous accent. I also enjoy his burly Viking voices for the Odinsons clan. He has a good range of voices with the ladies sounding like ladies and the guys sounding like guys. The pacing was perfect & there were no tech issues with the recording. 5/5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.
