Death BY Misadventure: A Lady Emily Mystery, Lady Emily Mysteries Book 18 BY Tasha Alexander

In Tasha Alexander’s latest Lady Emily mystery, set against the stunning backdrop of the Bavarian Alps in winter 1906, Lady Emily and her husband Colin are guests at Baroness Ursula von Duchtel’s opulent villa. Surrounded by an eclectic group—including a musician, an art dealer, and a flirtatious demi-mondaine—they soon find themselves in peril as a series of suspicious “accidents” target the Baroness’s boorish son-in-law, Kaspar. As the villa transforms into a house of intrigue, Emily delves into the chilling events that echo decades earlier, when a young German lord named Niels captured the attention of a not-yet-mad King Ludwig. Their relationship, steeped in secrecy and burgeoning feelings, casts a shadow over the present as old ties resurface.

As mishaps turn fatal, the guests become ensnared in a web of fear, and Emily must unravel the threads of past and present to expose the killer lurking among them. With her keen intuition and determination, she navigates hidden motivations and long-buried secrets, all while the majestic but treacherous landscape mirrors the tension within. In this gripping tale of suspense, betrayal, and the lingering impact of history, Lady Emily races against time to unmask the truth before more lives are lost.
