Murder at the Loch

Meet Ally McKinley: dog lover, guesthouse owner and accidental detective, as she tackles her next case in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. Recent retiree Ally McKinley has stepped out with her puppy Flora for a walk by the loch in the tiny village of Locharran, taking a break from running the cosiest little guesthouse in the Highlands. But Ally's peace and quiet is sunk when she and Flora find the body of a mysterious woman floating in the water. Before she knows it, Ally finds herself wading into the middle of a new investigation. Who was the mystery woman and why was she killed. Her enquiries take her all over the village: from the corner shop and the nearby hotel to the turreted castle, home of local earl Hamish Sinclair where preparations are underway for his upcoming - and much gossiped about - wedding. The body in the loch soon has the rumour mills buzzing. But then Elena, the earl's new bride, is also found poisoned to death the morning after her marriage. With two deaths to investigate, the police appear to suspect almost everyone in Locharran, even Ally herself. Determined to uncover the truth and clear her name, Ally finds poison at the home of one of her suspects and thinks she might be on the right path to solving both murders. But with a killer on the loose in the Scottish Highlands, can Ally unravel the clues before the next person in a watery grave is her.
