Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in…or, possibly, one of the castle’s guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for this literary American show-off (or Americans in general), finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prime suspects are Kat de Noir, a slinky erotica writer; Cassie Pringle, a Southern mom of six juggling multiple cozy mystery series; and Emma Endicott, a New England blue blood and author of critically acclaimed historical fiction. The women claim to be best friends writing a book together: a historical novel about the castle’s original laird, who himself ended up creatively murdered. But the authors’ stories don’t quite line up, and the detective is getting increasingly suspicious. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy did the authors really come to Castle Kinloch? Is the murder of the long-ago laird somehow connected with the playboy author’s unfortunate demise?
