Description

Midnight on Skye: a young crofter's daughter is cruelly and ritually murdered on the bleak Scottish mountainside. Very soon Gianetta Brooke, a guest at the deceptively idyllic Camasunary Hotel nearby, finds herself tangled in a web of rising fear and suspicion. When she discovers that her ex-husband has booked into the same hotel, the peaceful holiday for which she had hoped takes on quite another complexion.

Reviews

There are few to equal Mary Stewart as an entertainer. What makes Miss Stewart different from the others . . . is that though her plots are good, her characters are better - Daily Telegraph I cannot think of anyone who tells stories quite so well - New York Times She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing - Elizabeth Buchan A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors. - Harriet Evans
