A Perilous Perspective by Anna Lee HuberMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first Lady Darby Mystery but not my last. While in the Scottish Highlands to attend a cousin's wedding Mr and Mrs Gage find themselves in the awkward position of having to tell their host that part of his cherished collection of Masterpieces are forgeries. As if that is not enough close upon their revelation a lady's maid dies mysteriously of a poisoning while in the long gallery where the collection is on display--at the foot of one of the forgeries most important to the host and his former betrothed, who now is a spinster living on the estate adjoining his. Even more of a mystery is the fact that the maid is part of this woman's household and should not be anywhere within his home.
A complex case to be sure, filled with questions not easily answered, especially when the Lord of the manor is less than forthcoming when they are posed to him!
