Love-in-a-Mist, by Victoria Goddard

Book 5 of the Greenwing and Dart series finds our heroes forced to take shelter from the storm in a creepy old mansion, where the family of the local lord have gathered to compete for the inheritance, excuse me, I mean demonstrate their love and respect for their aging relative. Polite, barbed discussion of class and noblesse oblige ensue, and the reader will not be surprised when a dead body appears…. but there is also magic, mischief, young love, family secrets, and a baby unicorn. There’s one more in the series (so far), and Goddard has set up plot points so beautifully that someday I will have to go back and read them all again.
