I've found myself wanting to spend quite a bit of time in Scotland, and Aline Templeton is one of the best writers to dive right into when I'm in this sort of mood.

This is the third DI Kelso Strang mystery, and it's set in the Scottish Borders. Strang is the head of the Serious Rural Crime Squad, and I really like following him around from place to place (many of which I've at least driven through).

This installment had Strang and his impulsive partner Livvy Murray trying to solve crimes surrounding a world famous author-- an author who has so many secrets she wants kept hidden that it makes the investigation that much harder.

I did have to smile at the name of the weather phenomenon this time: the Beast from the East. It reminded me of a day spent in Cambridge when the lashing winds were straight out of Russia. (*laughing* I just just goosebumps remembering it!)
