A Nisse

A Norwegian nisse - their hats tend to be red, but the rest doesn't have to look quite so Santa-like. They are somewhat mischievous household helpers, a bit like our brownies, who have to be placated with porridge.

Murray of Letho VIII: Letho

Murray of Letho V: Edinburgh 1810

Charles Murray of Letho, a young gentleman of means, is in much demand: a rich widow, an old friend, and new military acquaintances all need his help. But when Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, sends him an invitation, vanity and curiosity force him to accept – and straightaway he has to deal with murder. Why did a cowardly surgeon kill a drunken engraver? And what would the consequences be, in the rainy mists of autumn? In the end Murray’s answers to his problems will lead to a decision that will change his life.

Fellowship with Demons is the fifth in the Murray of Letho series, set in Georgian Scotland.

Windhorse Burning

‘I’m not mad, for a start, and I’m about as far from violent as you can get.’

When Toby's mother, Tibet activist Susan Hepplewhite, dies, he is determined to honour her memory. He finds her diaries and decides to have them translated into English. But his mother had a secret, and she was not the only one: Toby's decision will lead to obsession and murder.
