In this latest Jane Wunderly 1920s mystery, Jane and fiancé Redvers are back at their mystery-solving ways. This book is a bit different, though, in that Jane is operating more on her own. Redvers is there to support her and back her up, but they have to meet in out-of-the-way locations to share information so no one knows they’re working together. She’s the one who has to infiltrate an occult group, Golden Dawn, on the Isle of Iona alone and she’s the one facing danger head on.
Jane goes undercover to verify the reliability of the group’s leader, but when the killing starts, it’s up to Jane to find the murderer.
The author’s use of the island almost made it another character in the story. You could practically feel the cold, the damp, the isolation, atmosphere and history of the island and it added to the intrigue of the mystery.
While I always enjoy a Wunderly tale, I did miss Jane and Redvers working side by side. I hope the next mystery has them together through it all.
