Adult Mysteries - SCOTT
One of the joys of reading is being transported to another place and experiencing other people's lives, and A.D. Scott's mystery takes the reader to a small town in Scotland during the 1950s. In the aftermath of World War II, the town's residents are busy getting on with daily life and coping with the changes that the war has brought to their corner of Scotland.
The local newspaper recently imported a new editor with modern ideas. One of those modern ideas includes hiring a female reporter, Joann Ross. Joann was hired to cover the garden club, the school play and other cultural events, but when her daughters' classmate is found dead in the river, Joann and her family become involved in a murder investigation. Joann discovers that she's stronger than she knows as she and her fellow journalists at the Highland Gazette uncover the hidden lives in their small town.
Readers who like Ruth Rendel, Peter Robinson, R.D. Wingfield, P.J. Parrish, or Edna Buchanan will enjoy mysteries by A.D. Scott. The story of Joann Ross and her fellow journalists at the Highland Gazette continues in A Double Death on the Black Isle.
