It's the most wonderful time of the year — time for a new Stevie Bell mystery! This time the gang heads to England and becomes embroiled in an old-fashioned country house mystery. There's relationship drama, sightseeing, young adult angst, college anxiety, and, obviously, murder. I really enjoyed this entry into the series, although I still think Box in the Woods is my favorite so far. Here, I didn't guess the murderer/ultimate solution, but when it was revealed, I understood some hints in hindsight. Great work, Maureen! My only complaint was that I felt there were too many suspects, but otherwise, this was fun!

I love how it tackles the struggles of a teenager at her last year of school ; what will become of her relationship? What does she want to do with her life? What about college?

She also questions her worth as a detective

I found that it tied really well into the main story. Another one please and thank you 👀
