Murder in the Highlands

Sophie and Hector are heading to the Highlands. For Sophie it's a trip home and for Hector it's time to meet Sophie's parents... Though their trip has village tongues wagging about a stop at Scotland's notorious elopement spot, Gretna Green. No matter what, it'll make a nice break from the murder and mayhem that has been plaguing their beautiful Cotswolds village. But Sophie and Hector are barely across the border on the way to Inverness before a sinister encounter leaves them shaken. Then comes a series of mishaps that leave poor Hector a little worse for wear. Is someone after Hector? Why is he certain the attacks are just accidents? Sophie is determined to find out. Starting and finishing at the Hector's House bookshop in Wendlebury Barrow, this adventure is Debbie Young's celebration of Scotland as her second favourite place after the Cotswolds, and will make you feel as if you've taken a trip to the Highlands yourself!
