Not what I was expecting

DC Edward Reekie accompanies DI Victoria Montgomery-Porter (aka Bigtoria) to transfer an eighty-year-old prisoner from Grampian prison to The Glenfarach Estate, where he would spend the rest of his life.

They are supposed to drop him at the Estate and immediately return home. Unfortunately, a dead body turns up, making DI Montgomery-Porter the most senior staff member. They will need to spend that night and more nights as the situation gets out of control, with more people dying.

Who is causing the carnage? It will take a miracle to get Victoria and Edward out of the Estate alive, there are not only killers, but they also find themselves trapped by the weather.

A murder mystery like no other! I wasn’t expecting a “comedy of errors” type of book when I started reading it. However, after getting over the bizarre way that Stuart McBride chose to author it, I accepted it would not be one of his “normal” murder mysteries and sat back and counted the bodies as they fell.
