Murder at Maybridge Castle

The holiday setting adds such a warm, nostalgic vibe, but I wonder what inspired the choice of Maybridge Castle as the backdrop for a murder. Was it to evoke a particular atmosphere or era?

The interactions seemed both warm and layered, making me care about their fates. I’m curious if the author drew from personal experiences or historical research for these connections.

It creates such a charming juxtaposition of suspense and holiday cheer. I wonder if the historical aspect was intended to deepen the mystery or to evoke a specific time period’s atmosphere.
