ABOUT THIS BOOK Lady Evelyn Carlisle has barely arrived in London when familial duty calls her away again. Her cousin Gemma is desperate for help with her ailing mother before her imminent wedding, which Evelyn knew nothing about! Aunt Agnes in tow, she journeys to Scotland, expecting to find Malmo Manor in turmoil. To her surprise, her Scottish family has been keeping far more secrets than the troubled state of their matriarch. Adding to the tension in the house a neighbor has opened his home, Elderbrooke Park, as a retreat for artistic veterans of the Great War. This development does not sit well with everyone in the community. Is the suspicion towards the residents a catalyst for murder? A tragedy at Elderbrooke Park's May Day celebration awakens Evelyn's sleuthing instinct, which is strengthened when the story of another unsolved death emerges, connected to her own family. What she uncovers on her quest to expose the truth will change several lives forever, including her own. With the shadow of history looming over her, Evelyn must trust in her instinct and ability to comb through the past to understand the present, before the murderer can stop her and tragedy strikes again. MY REVIEW THE GOLDEN HOUR by Malia Zaidi is an enjoyable historical mystery with plenty of characters to keep you interested. Lady Evelyn Carlisle is just figuring out what she wants from her future when she is called to Scotland by her cousin who desperately needs her help. But when Evelyn arrives nothing seems to be particularly wrong. Yet one should never judge a book by its cover and beneath the facade of this lovely community something dark is lurking, and when a body is discovered Evelyn is determined to bring the culprit to justice. That is if she is not too late to get out of the firing line herself. THE GOLDEN HOUR by Malia Zaidi is the fourth book in this series and while it is possible to read this mystery as a standalone (which is what I did), I do feel to get the most out of these characters, it would be best to read the series in order. I really enjoyed the setting and there are plenty of quirky characters to sink your teeth into and which make the suspect list nice and lengthy which is always a plus, and the pace of this mystery is even and not too energetic which gives it a relaxed edge which I enjoyed. THE GOLDEN HOUR by Malia Zaidi is an entertaining murder mystery and is sure to please historical fiction readers everywhere.
