The Witching Hour
Author: Catriona McPherson
Format: Paperback
What lies beneath the perfect marriage, the perfect village, the perfect life?
1939, Dirleton: Private detective – and sometimes society lady – Dandy Gilver hosts her husband’s sixtieth birthday party. Her close friend, Daisy, attends alone, having been stood up by her husband, Silas, who she suspects of philandering. The party is a huge success, nonetheless.
Until a phone call in the middle of the night . . .
Silas has been found murdered in a distant village, his blood spattered on an ancient louping stane. The police have their sights set on Daisy, who disappeared in the dead of night. Dandy must confront what secrets a marriage can hide – what her own friendships can hide – and confront the sinister heart of a seemingly idyllic community.
A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in Scotland on the eve of WWII. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
