From Stuart MacBride, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Logan McRae series.

Move Over Miss Marple . . .

The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Highlands, for the wedding of the year – but they weren’t expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, horribly drunk.

The whole valley’s been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride’s body is discovered – decoratively impaled on a stag’s head in the hotel lobby – it’s up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn’t easy when you’ve got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup.

With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she’s going to catch the killer and get out of there alive.

Did not disappoint, classic Roberta Steele hilarious and the narration by Lesley worked perfectly, despite what other reviewers have sad. If you need a dose of Roberta abd a giggle, you’ve got it!

Like other listeners, I was disappointed Steve Worsley wasn’t narrating. I hadn’t registered this when I preordered, although admittedly it wouldn’t have stopped me buying the book. Once I had got used to her, it was fine. Looking forward to the next one.

Entertaining and narrator did a good job
