Death at the Highland Loch
Lydia Travers
‘Absolutely loved… Has it all: charm, suspense, and wit… Perfect… Kept me guessing… Had me completely hooked from start to finish.’ bookedbycrystal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Meet Scotland’s fearless new amateur sleuth, Lady Poppy Proudfoot: dog lover, fashion expert, and… about to solve her first murder?
Scotland, 1924: When Lady Poppy Proudfoot arrives in the Highlands for a midsummer party, she’s anticipating a lovely stroll around the grounds… not gasps from guests when they hear a body has been found by the loch!
Despite everyone denying knowing the man, they all seem certain it’s a tragic accident. Poppy is convinced it’s murder, and decides to hunt for clues. But when the police arrive, grumpy Inspector MacKenzie dismisses her, insisting a crime scene is no place for a Lady. The nerve!
With the help of her trusted Labrador, Major, Poppy begins to unpick the case. The victim had links to the country house that Poppy’s hosts are desperately trying to hide… Was the killer Freddy the footman, who was seen meeting the dead man by the loch? Or the American actress who’s not all that she seems? And what does all of this have to do with a missing diamond bracelet?
When a woman who looks just like Poppy is attacked, she realizes that someone wants her to stop digging. One of the guests is a murderer and a thief, but who? And can Poppy solve the mystery before she finds herself in dangerously deep water?
A warm, unputdownable page-turning historical whodunnit, perfect for fans of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey and Catherine Coles.
