Highland Fling (Mirabelle Bevan)

Highland Fling (Mirabelle Bevan) by Sheridan, Sara. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781472127129.

Scottish Highlands, 1958 Britain is awash in Cold War anxiety as Mirabelle Bevan heads for the Highlands on a holiday to visit Superintendent Alan McGregors family. More glamorous than she expected, the Robertsons welcome her with open arms and an array of cocktails, but she has scarcely arrived when the body of an American fashion buyer turns up brutally murdered, plunging the local village into disarray and sending shockwaves around the close, Highland community. Mirabelle cant resist investigating, but what she finds lays the limitations of her feelings for McGregor bare and calls into question the loyalties of all those around her from the Robertsons housekeeper Mrs Gillies to the family of the dead woman. What started as a relaxing break in scenic surroundings soon spirals into a week fraught with danger. As the press descend on the Robertsons Highland estate, it rapidly becomes clear that things are not as black and white as they first appeared and Mirabelle cant count on anyone . . .
