When Maud McIntyre and her lady's maid Daisy travel into the Scottish Highlands, the last thing they expect to find is a body on the train... Will these keen amateur sleuths stop a murderer in his tracks? Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud McIntyre receives a letter from a maid called Rose, sharing her suspicions that something strange is happening in the house where she works, she and her assistant Daisy immediately travel to the Highlands to investigate. But as they are changing trains, the body of a man falls from the carriage right in front of them, a bullet in his head. Maud and Daisy can't believe it - they've waited ages for a new case, and now one has literally landed in front of them! And when the local police rule the death as a tragic accident, the pair have no choice but to investigate what they believe is a murder... Arriving in the Scottish village, Maud and Daisy go undercover to begin their hunt for the murderer, while also investigating the strange behaviour of Rose's employer, a local art dealer. As they begin to piece together the chain of events, Maud and Daisy wonder whether the cases might be linked. Is it possible the man on the train was killed to cover up something in the village? And, if so, who would do such a thing? When a local artist is found murdered, Maud and Daisy become convinced the two cases are connected. Searching for the link between the deaths, will Maud and Daisy solve the case before another mysterious murder takes place? A page-turning historical whodunnit, perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey and Catherine Coles.

Another adventure with our intrepid duo Miss Maud McIntyre, and Daisy Cameron, Maud’s former maid. This time they’ve gone to Braemar near Balmoral Castle to investigate the possible forgery of paintings supposedly by Zurbarán. A pro bono case
They don’t even reach the place before they discover a dead body in the carriage they were about to enter when changing trains. Suicide or murder? Maud and Daisy are leaning towards the latter
Well this is just the beginning of another of our detective duo’s deductive skills bringing justice to a situation that ends up being complicated by all sorts of diversions.
Slightly tongue-in-cheek (at least I’m taking it that way). This includes Maud’s exercise regime improvements, the ladies penchant for disguises, their falling into situations. Although the reappearance of Lord Urqart is in no way to be sneered at. Mmm!
A cozy mystery that’s fast approaching the ‘Perils of Pauline’ farcical realm.
