What you need to know before your trail

For Sophie it’s a trip home and for Hector it’s time to meet Sophie’s parents… Though their trip has village tongues wagging about a stop at Scotland’s notorious elopement spot, Gretna Green.

No matter what, it’ll make a nice break from the murder and mayhem that has been plaguing their beautiful Cotswolds village. But Sophie and Hector are barely across the border on the way to Inverness before a sinister encounter leaves them shaken.

Then comes a series of mishaps that leave poor Hector a little worse for wear. Is someone after Hector? Why is he certain the attacks are just accidents? Sophie is determined to find out.

Travel Guide

A celebration of Scotland!

The author is married to a Scot and says in her author note that this is a thank you to him for introducing her to the wonders of the Scottish Highlands. This is a book borne out of love for Scotland and Inverness, the capital of the Highlands.

Many of the tourist locations in the novel are ficitonal BUT they are based on or at least inspired by the Highland Folk Museum, Leakey’s bookshop, Gretna Green and of course Loch Ness and its monster.

Coffee and hot chocolate lovers rejoice -Should Cocoa is inspired by SoCoCo on Inverness High Street.
