This is the last in the Madoc Rhys series of mysteries. Madoc and Janet travel to Wales for Madoc's great uncle's 90th birthday celebration, bringing their baby daughter with them. They get to visit with Madoc's extended family, including a few he isn't all that happy to include.
While there, Madoc discovers an old family retainer has been attacked on the morning of the huge celebration. He and his uncle take care of the old man, but decide not to say anything to spoil the party.
However, during the party there is a terrible accident, and a distant cousin dies.After investigation, it is concluded that the death was not an accident.
Madoc is convinced to help with the murder investigation, and discovers there is a lot more to investigate than just the death. He finds it necessary to revisit a crime from the past that involves his family, and to investigate a possible burglary.
I enjoyed this book, and the whole series. I am sorry there aren't more, I would have loved to see more interaction between Madoc, Janet, Dorothy and the rest of Madoc's family, especially his brother.
This is a book in my Read It Again Sam Challenge
