Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style to the Isle of Rum

Out in the middle of nowhere, on a tiny island in the inner hebrides, is the island of Rum. Perfect setting for a retreat, a holiday , a getaway kind of place, somewhere to escape. However, in the hands of Cally Taylor, this place will haunt you and rob you of sleep.

It’s the setting for a group of strangers all looking to escape from the world for a while. Sadly, the problem with that is that on such a desolate island, you can’t escape if you have to and no-one can hear you scream…

A cast of characters each with a story of their own, secrets and lies as to why they are on this island, in this hotel  – the only one on the island we are told – with its creaky floors, dark corners and narrow corridors. There’s a storm outside which lashes the island with rain. No one wants to go out, no one can go out, but there are some people wanting to escape more than most.

There’s a creeping sense of doom both amongst the guests and with every lash of rain on the windows. Something is going to happen. Someone is going to die. And that person and the person who is going to do it, are in the same hotel…..stranded.

Anna has come here to escape taunts and stalking following the accident and death of her friends. She was driving that day. And now someone is driving her mad and have seemingly come to the island and followed Anna…

Kinloch Castle gets a nice mention as the source of activity for the guests but take care if you are ill or threatened in this story as the only doctort comes from nearby Eigg.
