Death by Misadventure

 Death by Misadventure is the first book I've read in the "A Lady Emily Mystery"  series.

Synopsis - In the winter of 1906, Lady Emily and husband Colin are invited to Baroness Ursula Von Duchtel in the Belgian alps. Outside you are able to see the beautiful castle of mad King Ludwig. Inside the villa host a magnificent but eclectic art collection as well as as the other guests. There is a musician, an art dealer and Kaspar the Baroness son-in-law, who it appeared that someone was trying to kill. You will also return forty years earlier to the life of Niels a German lord, who loves to sing and who is friends with King Ludwig.

My thoughts - I found the book to be wonderfully written mystery that has several twist and turns that kept me engaged throughout the book. The descriptions of the mountains with the snow and icicles brought back beautiful image's of when I was there.  I loved seeing the development of the character's and how the mystery unfolded.  I have always been fascinated by the story of King Ludwig and seeing this part of the story gave me insight to what his life could've been like.

I highly recommend "Death by Misadventure"
