Summary

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?

Kept me guessing

An easy listen in a busy life. I enjoyed the nods to Scottish idiosyncrasies. Just wish it wasn’t an American book. I’m a Hamish McBeth addict and LOVE the Scottish accent. A whole book in that accent would have been wonderful

poor storyline

Very incorrect procedurally, police wise. A bit of a childish storyline that made out that all Scots eat haggis and porridge

lack of research

If you're going to set a book in a country that isn't your own, and use a will as a major plot device, it helps to do some research on whether it is possible to disinherit children......it's not possible in Scotland.

There are so many inconsistencies in the story that it's clear the author has either never visited Scotland, or not paid attention if they did. A town big enough to have a hospital and a court, will have more than 1 hotel and you will be able to buy a mobile phone.

And as for an American trying to manage Highland accents!!!!

I'm glad I didn't pay for this one.
