The Good Book Guide Review. It is 1929, and the latest instalment in the adventures of long-suffering wife and mother turned irrepressible sleuth Dandy Gilver, sees the Gilver family head en masse to the restorative haven of the Laidlaw Hydropathic Hotel to recover from a host of ailments including bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy. The mysterious death of an apparently healthy lady from Edinburgh captures Dandy’s attention, while ghostly shapes in the Turkish bath, tales of haunting spirits from the nearby Gallow Hill, and the tensions and rivalries within the Laidlaw family ensure a diverting stay all round, in this entertaining, high-spirited and accomplished murder mystery.

Synopsis
Dandy Gilver and the Reek of Red Herrings by Catriona McPherson
On the rain-drenched, wave-lashed, wind-battered Banffshire coast, tiny fishing villages perch on ledges which would make a seagull think twice and crumbly mansions cling to crumblier cliff tops while, out in the bay, the herring drifters brave the storms to catch their silver darlings. It's nowhere for a child of gentle Northamptonshire to spend Christmas. But when odd things start to turn up in barrels of fish - with a strong whiff of murder most foul - that's exactly where Dandy Gilver finds herself. Enlisted to investigate, she and her trusty cohort Alec Osborne are soon swept up in the fisherfolk's wedding season as well as the mystery.
