About this listen

It's December 1967, and the town of Kinloch is cut off by heavy snow. With all roads closed, the only way to feed and water the townsfolk is for the fishing fleet to sail to Girvan for much needed supplies.

But the skipper of the Girl Maggie, Sandy Hoynes, has a problem. First Mate Hamish has, to everyone's astonishment, been chosen as Young Fisherman of the Year by a Glasgow newspaper. Marooned in the town and with one eye on a scoop, their reporter decides to join the fishing crew on their mercy mission. The thought of the publicity - and some remuneration - delights Hoynes. But Hamish hasn't told him the whole story.

As the blizzards worsen, the crew of the Girl Maggie embarks upon a trip like no other, encountering ghostly Vikings, gigantic crustaceans and a helpful seagull.

I don't usually write reviews but feel the need to after reading this little gem of a story. I discovered Denzil Meyrick's DCI Daley during the lockdown and greedily read them all over a few weeks. I love this series and look forward to the next instalment, so when this shorter little companion book was released I just had to get it. It tells the story of a 30-year-old Hamish's adventure's when the town becomes cut off from the rest of the world by snow! I listened to it on audible in one sitting and found parts of it hilarious! In fact, my husband thought I had gone quite mad when he was woken up by my laughter! If you are a DCI Daley fan then I totally recommend you go get it!
