Where is good to travel in March via a book? There is one that stood out.

The book?

When We Were Killers

Why? 

There’s something eerily good about when a book merges real life places and a eerie, almost supernatural story.

We head to St Andrews in this book to meet first year student Finn Nethercott.  This is a place where only privilege counts, and those from the right backgrounds can get away with murder. Finn is a misfit but soon makes friends. However these friends have a fascination with all things ancient and faerie like from Scotland’s distant past. When their worlds meet…………

What to love

Set in a real place

A chance to visit Stirling and its historic university

History comes alive

Dark academia is always a draw!
