Murder in the Scottish Hills

The Scottish Ladies' Detective Agency, Book 2

De: Lydia Travers

Narrado por: Helen McAlpine

When Maud McIntyre and her lady’s maid Daisy travel into the Scottish Highlands, the last thing they expect to find is a body on the train. Will these keen amateur sleuths stop a murderer in his tracks?

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud McIntyre receives a letter from a maid called Rose, sharing her suspicions that something strange is happening in the house where she works, she and her assistant Daisy immediately travel to the Highlands to investigate.

But as they are changing trains, the body of a man falls from the carriage right in front of them, a bullet in his head. Maud and Daisy can’t believe it–they’ve waited ages for a new case, and now one has literally landed in front of them! And when the local police rule the death as a tragic accident, the pair has no choice but to investigate what they believe is a murder.

Arriving in the Scottish village, Maud and Daisy go undercover to begin their hunt for the murderer, while also investigating the strange behavior of Rose’s employer, a local art dealer. As they begin to piece together the chain of events, Maud and Daisy wonder whether the cases might be linked. Is it possible the man on the train was killed to cover up something in the village? And if so, who would do such a thing?

When a local artist is found murdered, Maud and Daisy become convinced the two cases are connected. Searching for the link between the deaths, will Maud and Daisy solve the case before another mysterious murder takes place?

A historical whodunnit perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey, and Catherine Coles.

The Scottish village

Excellent narrator for the story. It's an imaginary story in that two women could be detectives in this time period, but fun to believe it could be. Cozy and entertaining.

Well development of the plot and descriptive language. Also enjoyed the Scottish language and setting.

It is a fun mystery book. The book included humor and the personalities are well developed.

I like the description of the small town and details about the surroundings

Very talented performance given by the actress who was reading the story. I like the time the story is set it.

Still enjoyable

Enough mystery and humor to keep us entertained and guessing. Yes, we did know who the killer was, but it was still a relaxing read.

Death In Braemar

Great descriptions of Braemar and Braemar Arms, now the Fife arms. Good history lane geography esson too
