Official synopsis Publisher
★★★★★ “Vivid descriptions, an eclectic group of colourful characters, and a series of oddities and mysteries fill the pages of this cozy mystery.”
A secluded island. A dark and stormy night. A treasure worth its weight in cake…
Reverend Annabelle Dixon, a madcap vicar with a taste for sweets and a nose for crime, has agreed to fill in for the local minister on the tiny Scottish island of Blodraigh. For Annabelle, it’s a chance to get away, and spend some time with her brother and young niece, who live on the storm-swept island.
But she has no idea she’s about to be drawn into a web of mystery and intrigue when a dead body connected to a mysterious theft plunges the island’s secretive community into chaos.
Annabelle’s passion for desserts is matched only by her desire for justice and as a violent storm approaches the island’s rocky shores, she is determined to find the killer, and expose the secret that threatens those she loves.
But as she begins her investigation, she must struggle against the incompetent local police, as well as a community steeped in suspicion and gossip.
With time running out, can Annabelle solve the mystery before the culprits strike again? Or before the islanders take matters into their own hands? Or will she need to call in reinforcements from the mainland in the shape of Inspector Nicholls?
Horror in the Highlands is the fifth in a furiously fast-paced, funny new series featuring a young female vicar whose passion and dedication to her parish are matched only by her weakness for cake.
If you like secluded islands, mysterious characters, a strong, yet compassionate female lead, and plenty of twists, then you’ll love Alison Golden’s deliciously humorous storytelling.
