Publisher's Summary
A gathering of seven bestselling crime writers at a Scottish Highlands book festival turns deadly in a wickedly dark thriller that pays homage to Agatha Christie's classic murder mysteries, from the bestselling author of The Bonnie Dead.
When legendary crime novelist William MacRae is found dead in suspicious circumstances at his Glasgow home, Police Scotland's premier investigator DCI John Lomond is put on the case.
After discovering a list of seven bestselling authors–all old friends of MacRae's–Lomond and his team head north to the Ullapool Book Festival, where the seven are gathering to remember their fallen friend.
But a vicious storm is closing in. And not everyone, it seems, has fond memories of MacRae. Or each other.
Cut off from the outside world at a remote country home, it doesn't take long for the whisky to flow, old resentments to reignite…and another dead body to appear.
Over the course of one weekend, Lomond must sift through a web of red herrings, secrets, and lies.
One of them is a killer. But can Lomond unmask them before it's too late?

Clever
I loved this book - I must admit I spent a considerable amount of time trying to work out which authors the characters were based on. Excellent 😊

Easy to listen to like JD kirk tamed down.
Busy but interesting plot line. Picked the killer early in the book and it lacked umph but was still entertaining to listen to. So many characters it became tricky to keep track of each ones storyline. Raymond's writing is similar to JD Kirks( without the humour, depth of character and less profanity) meets Agatha Christie. will def listen to the next. love Angus king as narrator will listen to anything he is part of.

Clever, beautiful, it just keeps getting better
I didn’t want this to end! The continuation of DCI John Lomond’s story weaved into another intriguing mystery which extended my musical knowledge mixed in with a few tears. Can’t wait for the next one - extremely satisfying!

Great read
This book has a great deal going on but at the centre are great characters with an interwoven history. DCI Lomond is suitably dour but equally appealing. The story is tight and the narration excellent.
Looking forward to the next book!
