Resumen del Editor

A single murder. An unidentified animal skull. Sightings of a tusked horse. Flesh on the bones of an old Scottish myth.

A struggling Scottish scientist holds a potential unicorn skull in his hands. If he proves it’s authentic, his career will be made. If he dies trying, he won’t be the first.

Meanwhile, Gillan McArdle’s academic career is ending because of one stupid lapse of judgement. But he’s the most talented young archaeologist in Scotland, and a Dundee-based media outfit can use his skills. Offered a short-term contract, he lands on the Hebridean island of Harris to investigate obscure animal bones. Quickly dismissing the unicorn skull as a thinly disguised fake, he can’t deny there’s something unusual about these bones. Baited by rumors of a majestic tusked horse roaming the uplands, Gill begins to suspect someone is manipulating him. As he gradually unravels the mystery of the skull, he grasps one disturbing conclusion. If this creature does exist, the evidence suggests it’s a killer.

Immersive and imaginative

Really enjoyed 10 hrs in the Islands of Northern Scotland, colorful characters well drawn by the author

Fantastic read!

A little slow in the beginning, but persevere. This book is an all-nighter. I loved this book and can't wait for the next one!

Well written story line…enjoyed the reader with his Scottish accent too.

The story line was drew me in. It’s worth a listen. I’m moving on to book two I enjoyed this one so much.

Imaginative Myth

pretty good story but am still a bit confused about the Biker Guy. Archangel Rafael was the only thing that made sense. Interesting concept of bringing back the mythic figures for Armageddon.

Well written interesting story

Loved this book! A great premise superbly written. Interesting characters, well paced, and beautifully depicted

Total Immersion

I have read all of the Mysterious Scotland books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I love the locations, of course, but the storytelling, the fresh ideas about ancient artifacts, and the characters I care about immerse me in the novels. I’ve been fortunate to have visited Scotland, and how the settings are described takes me back. The audible version has added more local flavor, emotional inflection, and correct pronunciation for places and names that I have been getting wrong from my reading (thanks for that). The voice actor’s accent is perfection!

Excellent from start to finish

I loved this book. I loved the characters, the environment, and the story. I love the original take on a well known legend. I will be reading more by this author.

Fun and easy listen

This book involves science, the supernatural, good guys, bad guys, and unicorns, all I could ever ask for. It’s an easy listen and a good story.

Too long

Fascinating topic with characters you could root for. It mired down in repetitive detail at time.

Delightful fantasy mystery

Cute story where the characters work together to solve a crime without bickering. At first, I had trouble with the accent, but then it becomes less noticeable. I love the fact that it’s a book in a series and it came to a satisfying conclusion.
