The Loch Fyne Murders

A spectacular lochside theatre.

A summer evening shattered by tragedy.

A decades-old secret about to resurface.

When DI Anna Vaughan is dragged to a corporate event at Lephin Cottage on Argyll’s ‘Secret Coast’, she is determined to play the supportive wife and help her husband Nick land a million-pound client. The open-air theatre on the banks of Loch Fyne is the setting for an atmospheric performance of Hamlet. But as the curtain falls on the first half of the play, the drama turns devastatingly real.

Elodie Bergasse, a quiet French waitress hired for the night, is found brutally murdered on a dark path only metres from the theatre. Anna quickly shifts from audience-member to detective, taking charge of the scene and working her way through a cast of tight-lipped suspects. Faced with elite guests, the actors on stage, and a host of colourful locals, Anna and local DC Jo McLean must untangle clues – old and new – to catch the killer.

The question is, can they uncover the truth before the final curtain falls?

Fans of Marion Todd, Caro Ramsay and Ann Cleeves will not want to miss this next gripping instalment in the Scottish Highland Killings series.
