2022: DI Clare Mackay starts the new year with a death…
What They Knew
What you need to know before your trail
It is the stroke of midnight on Hogmanay when Alison Reid admits a caller to her home. When her death is later reported, DI Clare Mackay attends the scene. The initial evidence does not rule out murder, but it’s not possible to say for certain if foul play was involved. Yet when the pathologist informs Clare about a post mortem of a young woman found in the Kinness Burn, and with some similarities to Alison’s case, it seems there’s a strong chance that there’s a killer on the loose in St Andrews.
Clare and her team will have to look past the obvious conclusions and delve deeper into the lives of the victims to get to the truth. But who else risks meeting the same fate while the clock is ticking?

Travel Guide
St Andrews
The city of St Andrews comes to life with streets, road and parks being used as places in the novel where something interesting happens. Kinness burn is perhaps the most interesting here as this very real place has an interesting story of its own.
In 2021, The Kinness Burn was left the unusual shade following days of heavy snowfall and rain in the area, although the exact cause of the discolouration is unknown. Because the water turned orange it acquired the nickname of the Iron Bru burn.
