by Patricia Sprinkle Joe, the husband of Georgia magistrate, MacLaren Yarborough, wants to go deep sea fishing with his son and grandson, so he sends his wife on a tour of Scotland with her young friend Laura. One bright spot of the tour will be a stay at the small village of Auchnagur, where MacLaren's ancestors lived. The tour group is a mixed bag, with a glamorous young wife, a wealthy land developer, a distillery owner, a shy librarian. There are many undercurrents among the restless travelers. When the tour reaches Auchnager, two coffins appear in the church. No one knows why they were ordered or who they are for. Soon the empty coffins are occupied by two members of the group. MacLaren undertakes to try to find the reason for the murders, uncovering past secrets and hidden agendas. This is a hilarious cozy mystery with an intricate plot which includes an eccentric cast of characters. The action is fast-paced with a well-constructed plot. MacLaren is a likeable heroine with homespun wisdom and real love and longing for her husband of many years. The glimpses of the Scottish Highlands and its inhabitants give a colorful background to the story. This is an enjoyable quick read for a relaxing afternoon...or evening. |
