The Crimes of Clearwell Castle by Benedict Brown

 



Christopher has graduated and now he and his grandfather Lord Edgington are on their way for a holiday. When they arrive at Clearwell Castle they are greeted by an angry mob commemorating a centuries old death of a young woman they say was murdered. A good thing that Chrissy and Lord Edgington are on the case. Not only must they investigate the young woman's death from hundreds of years ago, but two more recent deaths have occurred as well. Will they be able to solve all of these crimes? 

Christopher and his stomach kill me! He makes me laugh! I enjoyed how Lord Edgington is teaching Chrissy how to reason out people's motives and is helping him to not go on circumstantial evidence, but reason out how he came to a conclusion even if it was a wrong one. The Lord Edgington Investigates series is one I am enjoying reading through. This is book 7 in the series. One of the things the author stresses in his introductions is that nothing in each installment is given away from any of the other books that come before it. The main characters are carried through each book, but nothing is given away about the mysteries in other books. I like that because at one point I had to read one out of order. This was the perfect installment to the series and I highly recommend it.
