About the book

Guinevere Evans has a dream summer job: cataloguing books at a castle on a tidal island off the coast of Cornwall. With her perky dachshund Dolly by her side she explores the island’s colourful history, tries fabulous local food and sees the gorgeous sunsets.

But when an old friend of her employer drops in, claiming a rare bejewelled wedding goblet is hidden in the castle gardens, strange events start to take place: several people turn up claiming they have a right to the elusive goblet, and a dead body is found on the beach.

An unfortunate accident, or does this death relate to the struggle for ownership of the goblet? Is there even a goblet?

Guinevere and Dolly dig in and discover plenty of motives to lie, steal and yes, maybe even kill. Can they prove what really happened to the victim and what became of the precious rubies that are at the heart of the mystery?

My Review

Rubies in the Roses is part two in the Cornish Castle Mystery series, and I really think it can be read as a stand alone but I really urge you to read the first book as its a truly fantastic. Part two is very exciting and gripping, and I really enjoyed the whole book.

What I really like the most about Rubies in the Roses is all the guessing and the working out whats going on the suspense throughout was brilliant and the whole mystery plot was wonderfully written and I couldn't put the book down.

I have to say I absolutely loved the character Dolly, she is sure to put a smile on your face and she made the book really fun. Guinevere is also a really great character and very easy to connect with.

This isn't normally the genre of books that I would read but I found this really cosy and easy to read and it has definitely opened my eyes to this genre and made me really want to read more books like this, and I will be reading lots more by Vivian Conroy.
