The Queen of Scots Mystery
Amazon.com
My review -
Imagine
being deprived of the thing you enjoy most. At the beginning of this book,
Amaryllis is deprived of her freedom, so Christopher is deprived of her company.
A body has been found in the cellars of the Queen of Scots, necessitating the
pub’s closure as a crime scene. This loses everyone something they love. And Charlie,
the policeman, looks like losing his job. The place is going to hell in a handcart!
The body is that of Liam Johnstone, a man who, it seems, few have cause to
love. Amaryllis gets herself into the usual scrapes and discovers all was not
well in the Queen.
Reading
these stories is like spending time with old friends. In spite of the body
count, they aren’t gory or violent but neither are they bland. There’s a lot of
enjoyable humour and wry observation here. I wasn’t let down by my sixth outing
to Pitkirtly. I must try not to be a stranger and read number seven a bit
sooner! Very good indeed.
