This is one weekend getaway Anne can’t wait to get away from.
It’s July in exotic Southern Switzerland and life is sweet. When her husband surprises Anne with a romantic getaway to a hilltop castle, she couldn't be happier. What could be better than a refreshing escape to a fairytale chateau in the folds of the Swiss Alps, away from the old bookstore and its never-ending mysteries?
But all is not as it seems at the castle. Situated in a region steeped in legends about knights and dragons, the castle’s grounds are teeming with unexplained phenomena. The apparitions are enough to make Anne wish she was back at work.
When a castle guest dies in puzzling circumstances, and the police show up at the old bookstore looking for a book on dragons, Anne can’t help but be intrigued.
Now buried in research about dragon bones, assisted by the store’s peculiar black cat, Anne is on the trail of a fire-breathing legend that seems to be very much alive.
Can she find the chink in the armor of this murderous mystery or will she end up being a damsel in distress?
Another quick read. Another good mystery with lots of real facts that I didn't know about included in the plot. Of course it all turns out swell in the end but getting there is the fun part. And it kept me guessing. I'm off now to start the next book.
