‘Dandy’s best so far’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
1930, Banffshire: Following reports of barrels of herring contaminated with human remains, society lady – and sometimes detective – Dandy Gilver is called in to investigate. First port of call: the fishing village from where the barrels originated.
But something’s astray at the bay.
Dandy is met by an eclectic cast of characters, from the strange taxidermist Searly brothers to her lodgings’ frugal landlady Euphemia Clatchie, to a confusing number of Margarets. United only by superstition and folklore, Dandy faces the oddest pool of suspects she has ever met. And when the number of victims soars, she has a real monster to catch . . .
A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in the port villages of Scotland in the 1930s. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
