Murder Most Fair (A Verity Kent Mystery Book 5)
By: Anna Lee Huber
Rating: 4 of 5
I’ve read all of the books in this series. This story deals with Verity’s relationships with various members of her family. While I enjoyed reading the book, I would not suggest it as the best starting point for the series. I would suggest that the series be read in order as there are so many references to the growth of the characters and what they have been through in the past.
In this story, Verity and her husband, Sydney, journey to Verity’s childhood home. She hasn’t been to visit in more than four years and her mother is hurt and unhappy with her. They bring with them Verity’s aunt Tante Isle. She is older and has come out of Germany to be united with her English family.
There are many who are unhappy and suspicious of Germans after what England went through during World War I, which has recently ended. This is an issue that runs through the book.
Verity needs to confront her losses from the war, something she has put off and would continue to do so except for the urging of her husband.
When her aunt’s German maid is found murdered, Verity and Sydney move into action to investigate the murder, as the local constable is one of the individuals who aren’t happy with Germans.
The mystery was good and the growth of Verity and the new depth of her relationship with her husband brought the series to a new level. I look forward to new books in the series.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
