Crime and Thrillers
Marianne Gray is getting married in Glamis Castle and her mother is in a state of superstitious terror. To English lecturer, Gina Gray, Glamis means Macbeth, and Macbeth means weirdness and woe - bad luck at best, and murder at worst.
Nobody else is worried, but – as Gina says – why take the risk?
She is right, of course. Murder strikes, and Gina, who prides herself on her success as an amateur detective, quickly finds that there is no place for her as a sleuth this time - the Scottish police have cast her as their prime suspect.
Isolated and helpless, Gina can only sit by an idyllic loch-side and watch and wait while Detective Superintendent David Scott, her on/off lover of many years, pursues the London connections to the killing, and Freda, her fifteen-year-old granddaughter, confronts the terrifying possibility of a long-buried crime that could blow her family apart…
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I came to the series late, meeting Gina Gray for the first time in Come To Dust, when she was not at her personal best. As luck has it, The Scottish Play principally revolves around the Detective Superintendent. Yet there is plenty of Gina at her emotional and insightful, crime-solving best. Here, both Gina and the DetSu are aided by Freda, delightfully blossoming both as a young lady and another sleuth. I must read from the very beginning of the series.
