Book Overview

American millionaire Chester Royde is in Scotland with his new bride Carrie and sister Myrtle to research Carrie’s Scottish ancestry. Their new “relatives” turn out to be rather more authentically Scottish than they bargained for. Ben Nevis, Laird of Glenbogle Castle, is cash-strapped and fiercely protective of his lands and the Macdonald clan spirit, but he’s not above attempts to marry heiress Myrtle to one of his brawny sons. When a group of hikers stumble on his moor and spoil a day’s hunting, it sparks an all-out war between gentry and commoners. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A great start

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 25, 2001

A big fan of Kate Kingsbury's Pennyfoot series I cried when it came to an end. With this book she has introduced a charming new set of characters, the confused butler, the feisty house maid, the unfortunate cook and the handsome major. The village of Sitting Marsh is a contrast of old English customs and the modern World War Two culture. Lady Elizabeth is an independent woman who is determined to care faithfully for her village...

Absolutely Delightful!

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 12, 2001

Whenever I pick up a book by Kate Kingsbury, I expect to be delighted and entertained, and once again, Ms. Kingsbury delivers. A Bicycle Built for Murder, the first book in her new Manor House series, was a joy to read--full of charming characters, interesting historical tidbits, and with a mystery that kept me turning the pages. Bravo! I can't wait for the next installment.

A Bicycle Built for Murder

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 26, 2001

I just read the previous review from Eleanor Warder and I totally disagree. I am a computer programmer analyst and consider myself quite smart, but I didn't find the clues easy at all. And I don't think the book was fluffy. Ms. Kingsbury has built a reputation of writing cozies, and this book only enhances that reputation. I think the characters were strong, Ms Kingsbury strong point, as proven in her previous series,...

Great beginning for a wonderful new series

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 10, 2001

Kate Kingsbury, widely known for her Pennyfoot Mystery series, and Berkley Prime Crime, known for it's wide variety of successfully published mysteries, are together again, and the result is an exciting new mystery series. As in her last series, Ms. Kingsbury's new series is considered a cozy, and, in some corners, a historical mystery as well. A Bicycle Built for Murder is the first in the series.The Manor House seaside village...

delicious mystrey satire that pokes fun at the social class

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 1, 2001

While the Germans bomb London and other strategic locations during World War II, the villagers of Sitting Marsh look towards Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton as a role model. The townsfolk are unaware that Elizabeth is broke due to her late husband's gambling habit. Her only source of income is rent she collects on the cottages on her estate. Still, she knows that the locals depend on her for leadership and since she enjoys...
