Thicker Than Water by Ken Lussey (15 September 2024).
A compelling murder mystery set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson and Jenny Mackay are spending Hogmanay at Sarclet Castle in Caithness
when they are asked to investigate the brutal murder of a young woman at nearby Sarclet Broch in 1943, a woman whose ghost is believed to haunt
the castle. What seems the coldest of cold cases is not the first murder of a young woman at the broch. Nor is it the last.
On the day that Callum and Jenny arrive, there is a third fatal stabbing there.
