Download A Small Death in the Great Glen AudioBook Free
Both probing identity analysis and a travelling book of suspense, this is a book that will linger in your thoughts like mist on the Scottish Glens. Inside the Highlands of 1950s Scotland, a boy is found inactive in a canal lock. Two girls notify such a fanciful account of his disappearance that no person believes them. The local newspaper staff - including Joanne Ross, the part-time typist embroiled in an abusive marriage, and her manager, a practiced journalist motivated to revamp the newspaper - attempt to uncover and research the crime. Suspicion comes on several townspeople, most of whom profess their innocence. Alongside these character types will be the people of the city and neighboring glens; a refugee Polish sailor; an Italian family whose cafe offers the first known cappuccino machine in the north of Scotland; and a corrupt town clerk subverting the planning laws to brand his own pocket. Collectively, these very different Scots harbor deep and troubling secrets underneath their polished and respectable veneers - revelations which may prevent the crime from being solved and may keep carefully the town firmly in the handbags of its shadowy former.
