This is the first book in a brand new series, Ravensea Castle Mysteries, released today by cozy mystery author Elizabeth Penney. I’ve always really enjoyed anything I’ve read by this author and this book definitely makes my “loved it” list. The key characters were awesome and I loved how close Nora and her sister Tamsyn were. Definitely not one to miss!

My Goodreads review:
Bodies and Battlements by Elizabeth Penney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve never met any characters by this author that I haven’t really liked in the very first pages of the book, and this book was no exception. I enjoyed all the key players from the get-go and Nora’s dad cracked me up with his stories and just blatant innocent honesty when it came to different things.
There was quite a bit more to the murder than anyone first thought then when another one happened, things started to be revealed. I loved that Nora and DI Cole were getting closer. His dog sounded so darn cute and Rolf became good buddies with her. Tamsyn seemed to’ve found herself a guy as well. The showdown was tense but quick and a satisfying ending was enjoyed by all.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by St. Martin/Minotaur via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.
