About And the Corpse Wore Tartan

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. Praise for Stuart MacBride: ‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ – Peter James, author of Picture You Dead ‘Dark and brilliantly written’ – Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You ‘Crime fiction of the highest order’ – Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance
