The Highland Heist by Pepper Basham was a thrilling and intriguing novel in her series of Freddie and Grace Mysteries. Although the book does stand alone, it frequently references back to previous books in the series. Grace has recently returned to her home in America to see her family along with her husband, Freddie, and her adopted daughter, Zahra. Freddie and Grace have been on many cases prior to arriving to America. However, this one has more twist and turns than you could ever imagine. Grace‘s family has recently suffered some hardships and things are very complicated between Grace and her sister, Lillias. When Lillias’ husband is discovered murdered, and Grace and Lillias learn of their impending inheritance as well as the timeliness of the matter and requirements, things seem extremely hopeless. Will Grace and Freddie be able to solve the mystery? What role would their daughter play?
Although this book does reference previous books in the series, it is a fantastic novel and engaging story. It is well written and keeps the reader wondering what will happen next. I thoroughly enjoyed The Highland Heist. The novel was engaging and had many surprises!
