Murder at Kinrose Castle
A castle full of secrets. A storm that traps everyone inside. A murder that changes everything.
Chicago baker Fiona MacKay never expected her blackberry scones to land her in the Scottish Highlands, let alone inside the imposing walls of Kinrose Castle. Invited to bake for the tricentennial festival and Highland Games, she arrives hoping for tartan pageantry, new opportunities, and maybe a few castle inconveniences. Instead, she finds tension threaded through every corridor.
The Kinrose family smiles too tightly. The staff whispers about old feuds. And the castle itself seems to watch her with the patience of something that has seen far too much.
When a shocking death shatters the festival’s glittering façade, Fiona is pulled into an investigation that exposes long buried histories, dangerous loyalties, and a truth the castle has guarded for centuries. With a storm closing off the estate and suspicion rising in every room, Fiona must rely on her instincts—and an unexpectedly sharp-witted detective—to uncover the killer before the past claims another victim.
Atmospheric, witty, and irresistibly twisty, Murder at Kinrose Castle blends cozy charm with gothic suspense in a mystery where every family has secrets… and some refuse to stay buried.
