Publisher's Summary

Northumberland, 1809: A beautiful young heiress disappears from her locked bedchamber at Linn Hagh. The local constables are baffled and the townsfolk cry "witchcraft".

The heiress' uncle summons help from Detective Lavender and his assistant, Constable Woods, who face one of their most challenging cases: The servants and local gypsies aren't talking, Helen's siblings are uncooperative, and the sullen local farmers are about to take the law into their own hands.

Lavender and Woods find themselves trapped in the middle of a simmering feud as they uncover a world of family secrets, intrigue and deception in their search for the missing heiress.

Taut, wry, and delightful, The Heiress of Linn Hagh is a rollicking tale featuring Lavender and Woods—a double act worthy of Holmes and Watson.

not for me

I didn't like it.
The thing is, I can't really explain why. The protagonist was flat and unlikable, in the Sherlock style, except with an eye for beautiful ladies. That whole thing at the start with the sultry Spanish lady set a weird and uncomfortable tone. But then that plotline is dropped abruptly, so...
The writing was less than compelling and a little bit... smug? The mystery was simultaneously slow and overblown. The villains were cartoonishly evil, and their motives were so obvious that it's hard to see how those investigating didn't see through them immediately.
It just wasn't for me.
