Scottish Highlands, 1958Britain is awash in Cold War anxiety as Mirabelle Bevan heads for the Highlands on a holiday to visit Superintendent Alan Mc Gregor’s family. More glamorous than she expected, the Robertsons welcome her with open arms and an array of cocktails, but she has scarcely arrived when the body of an American fashion buyer turns up brutally murdered, plunging the local village into disarray and sending shockwaves around the close, Highland community. Mirabelle can’t resist investigating, but what she finds lays the limitations of her feelings for Mc Gregor bare and calls into question the loyalties of all those around her from the Robertson’s housekeeper Mrs Gillies to the family of the dead woman. What started as a relaxing break in scenic surroundings soon spirals into a week fraught with danger. As the press descend on the Robertson’s Highland estate, it rapidly becomes clear that things are not as black and white as they first appeared and Mirabelle can’t count on anyone . . .Praise for Sara Sheridan: ‘Sara Sheridan never fails to surprise.

One part Nancy Drew, two parts Jessica Fletcher, Mirabelle has a dogged tenacity to rival Poirot’ – Sunday Herald
