Hannah Reed | A New Mystery Series Set in the Scottish Highlands

OFF KILTER is the first book in the Highlands Mystery Series. It was great fun to write. I especially loved my research in the Highlands. All that local color – men in kilts, that wonderful lilting Scottish accent, the quick wit and infectious sense of humor displayed by the Scots. Did I mention men in kilts? And the setting was spectacular! Munros, lochs, sheep dotting the hillsides, whitewashed cottages, each tiny village with its own central meeting place – the pub, of course. I must admit I lifted a few pints, learned to sing the national anthem, and sampled a smorgasbord of Scottish delectable, including the (in)famous haggis.

My trip was much like my amateur sleuth’s.

Eden Elliott arrives in the small village of Glenkillen on the same mission – to
research for a series she’s been contracted to write. Only hers is a romance
novel, not a mystery. But instead of practicing the fine art of flirtation with
those hunky Scottish lads, Eden discovers the sheep shearer’s body. And he’s
been clipped with his own shears. Nothing like a murder to cool a woman’s ardor.
Worse, if Eden doesn’t figure this one out, she’ll find herself on the receiving
end of more shear terror.

I hope you enjoy your romp through the ‘blades’ of the Highland slippery slopes.
I know I did.
