A retired colonel has been shot dead at his home. Is it was because he
was opposed to the superstore that was going to be coming to Kirkluce?
DI Marjory Fleming immediately begins her investigation.
At the same time some young men on motorbikes have been terrorising an
elderly woman on her farm. DS Tam MacNee, although still in sick leave,
tries to reassure her. He also tries to get information on the murder
investigation, which he is not supposed to have. He also silently works
on the investigation on his own, which he is not supposed to be doing.
Fleming is thrown for a loop when a young man shows up in her office
announcing that he is the grandson of the victim. Later that evening
one of the boys who had been hassling the elderly woman was shot in the
back when they went out to hassle her again. Could the two killings be
related? As the investigation progresses, suspects are eliminated.
Would the killer be found soon enough or would there be another
killing?
Author Aline Templeton has written another superb murder mystery with a
very surprising twist at the end. A thoroughly enjoyable read, leaving
me looking forward to the sequel.
