Mystery in the Highlands by Lydia Travers

I had not read the other two books in this series and I do feel like I missed out some by not having read them. This was an interesting twist on a familiar wealthy lady and her servant solving mysteries in that Maud and Daisy are actually partners in the detective firm. For this case, they are heading up to visit Daisy's cousin. The members of her local choir have been dying and she's worried they're not all accidental. 
Maud and Daisy join the choir to help round out the numbers so they can still compete in the best choir in Wales. Also joining? Lord Urquhart. It seems that he and Maud have a past that she is not anxious to revisit. When sinister poems start showing up outlining sinister prognostications for more people  from the choir, Maud and Daisy will have to put their heads together to try and prevent more deaths. 
I think this is a series that is better read from the beginning.
