Book Launch: Scottish Mystery Series

Now is the time to travel through reading, so how about visiting a historic Scottish estate on a North Carolina island? Just add in a few murders, some bagpipes, and family complications for a wonderful immersion into a modern-day ancient Scottish clan fighting to retain their identity. Liam Ashe‘s debut novel Thou Shalt Not Kilt is the perfect staycation escape!

Elle’s Scottish-flavored mysteries will immerse you in a world of the Highlands, kilts, bagpipes and haggis.

For author and historian Elle Cunningham Mackay, six weeks on Cape Fear’s Roan Island is a desperately needed second chance. When her host and former flame Stuart MacUspaig invites her to his historic Aldermire estate, she jumps at the opportunity to research first-hand the disappearing Scottish clans who settled North Carolina.

She soon realizes that Stuart has something more in mind and his offer comes with complicated strings. After too many questionable choices—not to mention a failed marriage, a pink slip and a criminal record—Elle knows she is running out of options.

When Stuart is found brutally murdered, Elle fears that her past mistakes may finally be catching up with her. Relying only on her keen mind and mile-wide stubborn streak, Elle races to find his killer. As the body count grows, her only hope is to mend her ways and make a new start, or she risks becoming collateral damage in the extinction of Clan MacUspaig.
