I was lucky enough to read an early version of this story. Even though I wasn't going into this totally blind I was still blown away by it. The story being set in Scotland is a bonus too.
The characters are all very well written, even down to the despicable ex boyfriend of the female lead, Jessica. The way he is described and his actions towards Jessica make him such a believable character. It's unfortunate but there are so many real life people out there who are just like him, and the author has managed to capture the essence of such a person really well through her words.
The relationship between Jessica and Fletcher isn't a straightforward or easy one. Both have skeletons in their closets and she is attempting to get over a huge event in her life.
The ending, even though I knew what was coming, had me bawling like a baby. The author ripped my heart out and left me desperate for more. I cannot wait to see what she brings us next and what lies ahead for Jessica and Fletcher.
