Summary
Former police detective Michael McLaren arrives in Scotland, ready to immerse himself in the fun of the Highland Games and to enjoy a holiday with Melanie. But the old saying of plans oft going awry rears its ugly head: Simon Shaw, a member of McLaren's folk group, dies. Murdered a year to the day following his uncle's death.
McLaren is determined to find out who killed Simon. Needing justice for his friend is only half of his incentive. He also needs to appease his guilt for suggesting the group sing there in the first place.
As McLaren becomes immersed in the investigation, he wonders if the two deaths are linked, or have to do with the family or their clan. Perhaps Simon's former wife killed him, bent on revenge more powerful than mere divorce. Or was the killing tied to an old hunt for diamonds? After all, diamonds aren't only a girl's best friend. Sometimes they birth greed and murder. And entrap the innocent.

Very Good.
I enjoyed this book. It is the first of the series I have heard but it works well as a stand alone. Well written and reasonably well paced it kept me listening and wanting to know what happened next. A murder at the Highland Games gets our hero into investigative mode and although some of the scenes seemed a little far fetched at times it was entertaining. The narration was good with plenty of different voices and accents for Callum Hale to get his tongue around. I struggled with a couple of characters where for me the accent didn't somehow fit the character but this didn't take anything away from the overall enjoyment of the story. I will certainly listen to more of this series at some point..
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the author and leave this honest review.

Loving the series
Just loving this series, the narration adds to the Scottishness. I liked the setting as it was different and I got really engaged and you got to learn more about the backstories and getting everyone involved. It was so engaging. This kept me addicted throughout the listen, just loved it.
