The intrepid Lord and Lady Sheridan are once again called into service by His Royal Majesty King Edward. This time it means traveling to Clamis Castle in Scotland and finding the king's son, Prince Eddy who has disappeared from his 'safe house' after the murder of his caretaker. What adds to the intrigue is that Eddy is deaf, sometimes delusional, and reported dead by the royal family many years prior.

Although Kate and Charles don't spend a great deal of time together to solve this mystery, it was a fine read. Kate is trying to find inspiration for another book and hopes this haunted castle will give her ideas; Princess Victoria arrives to be her father's eyes and ears in the search; and Charles is afraid that he is probably being used for a royal coverup.

I appreciated that the authors finally explained why Charles had refused the Victoria Cross and resigned his commission in the King's Army. They also stay true to telling what the monarchy would do to stay on their throne. The book does have an unresolved issue at the end, but it will more than likely be resolved in the next book or two.

Now to read book 10!
