Like a good whisky, this tale is outspoken with plenty of character. And forgive me, but plenty of smokiness too.
Oh, Magaidh! The trauma she's been through! I'm tellin' ya, get your tissues ready.
Maggie Glass is a detective. But her greatest case to date is set to get personal. Her childhood is a blur thanks to repressed memories. But can she get them back to help solve her latest mystery?
She has some great friends; some of whom are a bit wyrd. There is magick lurking. But this story revolves mainly around a murder mystery, powerful women and those who fear them.
Edinburgh is a gorgeous backdrop for plenty of thrilling action. And there are plenty of drams to be had, courtesy of Ghlais, the local distillery.
It is an LGBTQ+ book in that there are hints of a f/f relationship but this is not the main focus; there are no issues to be sorted through in that regard. No, there is plenty of drama thanks to the investigation which will take a courageous person to uncover to its roots.
I cried more than once, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. And I was gunning for Maggie to get the bad guys!
A thrilling mystery interlaced with an emotional journey.
