middle of the road submitted by camelsamba on July 13, 2019, 8:27pm Even with various details that just don't add up (e.g. the night Elspeth's door handle was turning - how did the culprit get up to the castle in that storm?), I enjoyed this book more than the 2 or 3 that precede it in the series; 3 out of 5 stars. Although how did the female forensics lass get engaged to boss so quickly? It seemed like one week had passed. And I do wish the author would just get rid of Blair, the old sod. There are enough other people putting Hamish down, he wouldn't be missed.
