A very enjoyable book

This was a good read. I had one plot twist figured out pretty early, but the final twist was a total surprise. Usually Agatha Christie is the only one who can do that to me.

A Good Book!

This is a well told story of a young woman returning to her grandfather's home in the Highlands after the death of her parents. You learn about whiskey distillery operations, falconry, and the social interactions of the Highlands a hundred years ago. The story evolves into a bit of a mystery with a dramatic ending. Very satisfying.
