Off Kilter

Scottish Highlands Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Hannah Reed

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

After the recent death of her mother and the dissolution of her marriage, 30-something Eden Elliott is seriously in need of a fresh start. At the urging of her best friend, best-selling author Ami Pederson, Eden decides to embark on an open-ended trip to the picturesque village of Glenkillen in the Scottish Highlands, to do some hands-on research for a book of her own. But almost as soon as Eden arrives in the quaint town, she gets caught up in a very real drama....

The town's sheep shearer is found murdered - clipped with his own shears - and the locals suspect Vicki MacBride, an outsider whose father's recent death left her the surprise heir to his lucrative sheep farm. Eden refuses to believe the affable heiress is a murderer, but can she prove that someone is out to frame her new friend before she finds herself on the receiving end of more shear terror?

Intriguing from the first page.

This story had it all - intrigue, mystery, suspense, budding romance, family drama, new friendships, old friendships all wrapped up in a great story. I'm glad to see it's not just a one off and that she is making it a series. I can't wait to read the rest.

Cute story

This is a cute story. Good mystery…quick listen. Definitely recommend it. Will continue to listen to series

Off kilter: a great story!

I enjoyed the book a lot. Well-paced, interesting and fun to hear the Scottish accents!

Fun Mystery

Great voices and suspense! It wasn’t clear until the end who the culprit was and the Scottish location made it a good “escape” type of read.

Solid listen

Very light and funny/sweet. Needed it after a couple guy punch listens in a row. Yes predictable but that’s ok.

Loved it!!!

The storyline was great along with character development. Light and easy listening. The narrator was great along with the other character voices. Listening to the whole series!!

Narrator

I thought the narrator of this book was great. Each character had a distinct sound. I love that.

Off Kilter

I thought this was a great read/listen. No swear words or graphic murders. Just a good clean story that keeps you guessing all the way through.

I wanted to smack the lead character

The plucky American was so contradictory in an effort to be full of personality. I have noticed this in other recent books. The author makes her say a pronouncement about herself which she promptly acts in such a way to make that pronouncement meaningless. I liked the setting, though.

Really enjoyed it!

The mystery kept me guessing until the end and I really got to like Eden Elliot, Vicky McBride and all the characters. Look forward to the rest of the series.
