If you are a fan of the Grace McKenna mystery series, you’ll want to pick up the third novel in the series, Murder at Whiteadder House. Eliza Anderson visits Grace at her detective agency seeking help in finding her twin sister, Beth. Beth had been a drug addict, and had recently been treated at a posh treatment center, Whiteadder House. Unfortunately, Beth has disappeared; the cops don’t take it seriously, and just think Beth has relapsed and gone back to her addict days. Eliza, however thinks differently, and as bodies begin to wash up from the sea, Grace and her team begin to suspect foul play connected with Whiteadder house. As the investigation proceeds, Grace’s staff goes undercover at the center, and danger is definitely a problem. Grace’s ex-husband, Brodie, has started a relationship with the daughter of a high-ranking policeman, and it seems the owners of Whiteadder house have been buying influence in the top echelon.

Baldwin has done an excellent job of developing the characters. Grace and her staff are likeable, and seem to be quite amateur, and it seems surprising that this detective agency can actually solve cases. However, Baldwin has told a good story and the characters fit into it well. There are some negative characters that make for readers to hope that Karma will kick in. There are twists and turns in the story and it will keep readers on the edge part of the time.

All told, this is a good novel and great for light reading.
