The Turning Tide by Catriona Mcpherson

The Turning Tide by Catriona Mcpherson

It is the breezy Scottish summer of 1936, Lady Dandy Gilver has been called, with trusted colleague Alec Osbourne, to solve the strange case of the Crammond Ferrywoman on the Firth of Forth. A small island is home to a woman, Vesper Kemp, who has lost her mind, spending her days rambling in rags. What is more troubling, is that Vesper claims to have murdered a young man. A concerned group of residents have good reason to believe she is innocent. But Dandy and Alec will have a dangerous journey ahead if they are to uncover the truth in the River Almond's murky waters.

A perfect literary treat for a rainy Sunday afternoon* Red *
With sharp wit and an Agatha Christie-style ability to create a lively cast of characters, this is an intriguing historical mystery. * Women's Weekly *
A great pinch of humour and a sprinkling of absurdity, McPherson beautifully evokes the feelings and images of post-war Edinburgh. * The Wee Review *
