“Dandy Gilver is marvelously, hopelessly, hilariously
wonderful. If you haven’t discovered Catriona McPherson yet,
it’s time to start!” —Charles Todd, author of the Inspector
Ian Rutledge Mystery series
On the rain-drenched, wind-battered Banffshire coast
dilapidated mansions cling to cliff tops, and tiny fishing
villages perch on ledges that would make a seagull think
twice. It’s nowhere for Dandy Gilver, a child of gentle
Northamptonshire, to spend Christmas.
But when odd things start to turn up in barrels of fish—with
a strong whiff of murder most foul—that’s exactly where she
finds herself. Enlisted to investigate, Dandy and her trusty
cohort, Alec Osborne, are soon swept up in the fisherfolks’
wedding season as well as the mystery. Between age-old
traditions and brand-new horrors, Dandy must think the
unthinkable to solve her most baffling case yet in The
Reed of Red Herrings.
