Regency England, August 1812. Sebastian's plans to escape the heat of London for a honeymoon are shattered when the murdered body of Hero's good friend, Gabrielle Tennyson, is discovered drifting in a battered boat at the site of a long-vanished castle known as Camlet Moat. A beautiful young antiquarian, Miss Tennyson had recently provoked an uproar with her controversial identification of the island as the location of Camelot. Missing and presumed also dead are Gabrielle's two young cousins, nine-year-old George and three-year-old Alfred.
This is the 7th book of the Sebastian St Cyr mystery series. I read this with a group on LibraryThing. This book was full of characters and likely suspects. It was so secretive that I did not guess the killer until it was revealed at the end of the book. The plot was terrific but the real reason for the murder was not revealed until the very end but even though we were not able to tell who the killer was and the reason for the murder, I still gave her 5 stars as the book was that good. So if you love book with hidden secrets than you would love this book. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series and I hope that Sebastian and Hero share secrets with each other.
