The Heiress of Linn Hagh (The Detective Lavender Mysteries, 1)

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's 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.

This book reminded me of sherlock Holmes at first, but as I kept reading I noticed that there were some differences. The book was well written and easy to follow. The characters of Lavender and Woods complement each other well. It did drag a bit in the middle. The ending was very rewarding and made the slow parts worth it.
